Institutional Violence Analysis
Chapter 4 informed me about Institutional Violence, what it means, and the types of institutional
violence and how this form of violence affects society. Institutional violence has many aspects such
as intimate partner violence, child abuse, educational, religious, corporate, media and environmental
violence. I found the section on family violence interesting and I also learned a lot of new facts and
disturbing details about dangerous consumer products that either cause major and widespread illness
or even death. I was able to learn more in depth about the characteristics of corporate violence and
who the founding father of corporate crime is, Edwin Sutherland, thanks to this man corporate
violence was brought to the forefront and acknowledged in the corporate world. Family violence
includes spousal intimate partner violence and child abuse and neglect. In reading about Intimate
partner violence I was not surprised to find that poverty plays a big role in violent tendencies in
relationships. Personally, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Institutional Review Boards Essay
Running Head: UNIT 5 ASSIGNMENT Unit 5 Assignment Template Candeece Lucas July 21, 2014
HN410 – Human Services & Delivery Kaplan University IRB is an abbreviation for the institutional
review board. Informed by the need to review human biomedical and behavioral research to the
mutual benefit of the researcher and the sample population oversight, responsibilities have to be
designated to an impartial body. In light of this, the IRB is also commonly referred to as the
independent ethics committee or the ethical review board. Indeed, biomedical and behavioral
research on humans is not a light discipline as some of the research tenets border on life and death.
It is thus important to evaluate whether the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Thus, two of the board members conduct the review for presentation to the full board at the earliest
opportunity (Grady, 2010). In the event that a researcher was to create a plan to evaluate a program
or intervention, the expedited review presents the best option for review by the board. This is
because the process is much swifter compared to the full review and given the fact that most of the
interventions have timelines, it comes in handy. This is among other benefits of the review. The full
review is the third category where the whole board is involved and intense interrogation of the
research is done, when the research has to meet all the laid out requirements.For research that
requires the utility of special populations like patients that have been diagnosed with certain
diseases, some ethical risks are present. They may include the endangering of the life of the patient
and adverse side effects of the treatment. In most cases, for this type of research, risk assessment in
terms of statistics come in handy where the possibilities are explained to the participant and well
recorded in liability forms (Millum & Menikoff, 2010). If a program has research projects and does
not follow the IRB review, the repercussions may include: bearing the burden of

Institutional Programs In Prisons
Describe the role of institutional programs in prison including the different types of programs that
are offered to inmates.
The role of institutional programs is to help manage time. While the focus is to manage time,
institutional programs also give inmates the opportunity to improve their lives. There are five
different types of programs that are offered to inmates. Rehabilitative programs, medical services,
industrial programs, maintenance programs, and recreational programs. The goal of the
rehabilitative programs is to reform the inmates behavior. Rehabilitative programs are divided into
different sections such as psychological, behavioral, social, educational and vocational, substance
abuse, sex offender, and religious programs. Rehabilitative ... Show more content on

Under discretionary release, an inmate is released from prison but is under supervision by the parole
board. The parole board uses information about the inmate such as behavior and the inmates
participation in rehabilitative programs to determine the inmates future behavior. By doing so, this
gives the parole board to determine if the prisoner is ready for release. Mandatory release is another
way that inmates are released into the community. Under mandatory release, the inmate is released
after serving his or her total sentence. Mandatory release takes the place of the parole board to
decide if the inmate is ready to be released. Bookkeeping on the inmate is apart of mandatory
release to make sure that the prisoners time is accurate and that he or she has served the right
amount of time. After the inmate is released, he or she is released under parole supervision for the
rest of their sentence. Probation release is the most common release for inmates. Most inmates who
are on probation release are first time offenders and have to do a minimum sentence. Probation
release takes place when a judge allows the inmate to spend a certain period of his or her sentence in
the community under probation supervision. Probation release can include anything dealing with the
community such as cleaning up highways, removing graffiti, and other things that can be beneficial
to the community. Many prisons have become overcrowded which has

Institutional Markets : Institutional Investors
Institutional investors are any organizations or persons which collect quite number sums of money
to invest in securities and also control a collection of share amounts to qualify for special treatment
and less regulation. They can also include operating companies that decide to invest their profits to
some degree in these types of assets. Insurance companies, mutual funds and pension funds are
some examples of institutional investors. These institutional investors need to face some regulations.
"Institutional investors always participate in private placements of securities due to their
sophistication, in which certain aspects of the securities laws may be inapplicable."
These institutional investors play role in the economy is to act as highly specialized investors on
behalf of others. For example, an employee will have a pension from his employer as the employer
gives that person 's pension contributions to a fund and the fund will be used to buy shares in a
company, or some other financial product. Funds are greatly useful because they will hold a broad
portfolio of investments in many companies. This spreads risk, so if one company fails, it will be
only a small part of the whole fund 's investment.

For my final project I will be focusing on the group behaviors associated with working in a highly
regulated industry and its impact on corporate policies. I am currently employed by the
Westinghouse Electric Company. Westinghouse's main business is to construct, maintain and repair
nuclear power plants around the world. The nuclear industry is highly regulated by government
entities around the world. This regulation can often times impact the culture for companies and

I think that the most significant impact can be found in the idea that an organization is looking to
maintain somewhat homogenous unit. Homogeneity lends itself to challenges when making
decisions, groupthink and potentially stalling innovation. When making decisions group diversity
and thought processes are important. Johnson and Johnson (2013) discuss this, "Overall, whether for
better or worse, the range of skills and abilities a group can access in its diverse members affects its
performance on creative and decision making tasks"(p. 421). In my opinion, institutional constancy
intentional works to eliminate the concept of diversity of groups, by creating specific procedures
and policies on how tasks are to be completed. This discussion of diversity is focused on the idea
diverse opinions and experience and not that of age or race. The lack of diversity in decision making
is ripe for increasing the potential for groupthink. "Groupthink is the collective striving for
unanimity that overrides group members' motivation to appraise alternative courses of action
realistically..." (p. 271). Groupthink lends itself for an error–prone decision making model. Finally,
institutional constancy has the ability to stall innovation and prohibit creativity. Johnson and
Johnson discuss several procedures to promote creativity. Those procedures

Hobbes on Institutional Sovereignty
A right, or power, institutional sovereignty is said to have addresses protest against the sovereign.
Hobbes makes extremely clear that actions of the instituted sovereign are wholly protected. This
particularly lucid in the following: Thirdly, because the major part hath by consenting voices
declared a sovereign, he that dissented mu8st now consent with the rest . . . or else be justly
destroyed by the rest. For if he voluntarily entered into the congregation of them that were

It is also important to note that Hobbes brings to light the solvency, or legality, of both types of
sovereignty, as both are rooted in fear. That is to say, it is held that " . . .all such covenants as
proceed from fear of death or violence [are] void," meaning neither sovereignty should maintain
legitimacy. However, Hobbes reconciles this by stating that it is after sovereignty is established that
fear of death or violence cannot oblige people to agree. (127) Furthermore, simple the presence of
fear cannot invalidate covenants, as commonwealths would be impossible to create. (127) Combined
with the fact that there exists choice in both institutional and acquisitioned sovereignty, there is
support for the legal groundings of both and they are consequently placed on equal footing for
asserting their relative claims of right. (128) With regard to the claims of right sovereignty through
acquisition has, it shares all of those demonstrated in institutional sovereignty. Hobbes lists these
rights that are reflected in sovereignty by acquisition:
But the rights and consequences of sovereignty are the same in both. His power cannot, without his
consent, be transferred to another; he cannot forfeit it; he cannot be accused by any of his subjects of
injury; he cannot be punished by them; he is judge of what is necessary for peace, and judge of

ncreased rates of incarceration came with growing rates of institutional violence and major
disturbances within U.S. correctional institutions have resulted in increased importance being placed
on the development of accurate and efficient correctional risk classification methods. "In the current
study, institutional infractions were tracked from correctional intake for 17,054 male and female
incarcerated offenders." In order to allow observation of problematic behaviors, institutional
infractions were put into categories based on an inmate's ability to be physically aggressive, verbally
aggressive or defiant, and nonviolent infractions. After analysis and examination of inmates, there

federal and state correctional institutions (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2004). According to these
authors, rates of incarceration have steadily increased at an average rate of 3.4% per year since

placed increased pressure on prison officials to efficiently classify newly incarcerated offenders.
(Caperton, Edens, & Johnson, 2004). Balancing efficiency, accuracy, and cost, inmate classification
procedures influence most aspects of an individual's incarceration, including housing decisions,
special services such as mental health services, rehabilitation strategies, institutional privileges,

It demonstrates younger generations fighting to end institutionalized discrimination instead of
pretending it does not exist. Despite the fact that the college was not willing to meet one–hundred
percent of the demands of the students, it still shows progress towards ending this discrimination.
Since there has been media coverage of the issue, it has the potential to inspire students at other
schools to do the same to ensure campuses are safe places for students regardless of their race. In
addition, with more classes about different races and cultures, campuses would have more educated
staff and students leading to an overall decrease in institutionalized discrimination. As Henslin says,
"With their focus on the broader picture, sociologists encourage us to examine institutional
discrimination, that is, to see how discrimination is woven into the fabric of society" (2014, p. 331).

due to institutionalized racism and discrimination. 2
The Jim Crow Laws were a set of laws established by southern states to successfully to eliminate
African Americans from the American political and legal system––a de jure form of discrimination.
These southern states (consisting of Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia and Kentucky) ensured
white supremacy over African Americans by establishing laws that included no interracial
marriages, segregation in schools, healthcare, public facilities, housing, entertainment, prison, free
speech and libraries. In Mississippi, marriage of a white person with a "Negro" or "mulatto" or
person having one–eighth or more "Negro" blood was void. New Mexico said that books shouldn't
be shared by white and "Negro" children and that if "colored people" were to go to the library to
read then the librarian need to set up a confined space for them. A white child being in custody of a
black person was "unlawful" in South Carolina. 3

maintaining that power. The Jim Crow Laws was social engineering of the African American race,

Institutional Racism
Racism can be enacted individually or institutionally. Institutions can respond to Blacks and Whites
differently. Institutional behavior can injure Blacks, and when it does, it is racist in the outcome, if
not in intent (2008). Racism remains an ingrained part of the American experience for many ethnic
populations. Racism thrives even among many other organizations, obstructing the effectiveness of
the programs and services offered. One primary way to determine institutional racism is seeing how
many officers are minorities versus ones who are not. Another way to tell is seeing how many black
people are pulled over by white cops every day. Strength in realizing the institutional racism exists
is hard because the evidence is not as concrete.

Institutional Racism
There are two different levels of racism found in contemporary health care; institutional and
interpersonal racism. Institutional racism encompasses policies and practices carried out by
government and other institutions that may limit the benefits received by Indigenous Australians
compared with non–Indigenous Australians. An example where institutional racism may play a
factor in clinical practice is a lack of culturally appropriate materials or treatment options for
Indigenous patients (Shah, A. 2007) Interpersonal racism is the discriminatory interactions between
individuals. This includes degrading comments or behaviours by a health care worker or
discriminatory behaviours of other individuals in the community (Larson, A., Gillies, M., Howard,
P. J., Coddin, J. 2007) Researchers have found compelling evidence connecting the impacts of
Indigenous discrimination to the root cause of extreme socio–economic and health disadvantages
(Larson, A., Gillies, M., Howard, P. J., Coddin, J. 2007). A study of the Indigenous population by
'Flinders University' reported that 97% of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders taking part in the
research, regularly experienced racism. These staggering results highlight that this is still an ongoing
contemporary issue that continues to be the root of many physical and mental health issues
commonly experienced by the community (Creative Spirits, 2017) Discrimination of any form
impacts many Indigenous people and can carry with it lifelong issues. Stress and self–diminishing
emotional reactions are major factors caused by discrimination and can have unfavourable impacts
on one's physical and mental health and wellbeing. One's animosity and humiliation can provoke a
range of biological responses in the body causing cardiovascular diseases, heightened blood
pressure and disrupted neurological processes that can affect immune functions in the body (Larson,
A., Gillies, M., Howard, P. J., Coffin, J. 2007) Chronic exposure to racism can also result in long–
term external issues including low levels of education, unemployment, housing issues, high rates of
incarceration as well as a physical sense of exclusion from the wider community (Hampton, R.,

Institutional Cortination Is A Form Of Institutional...
Institutional discrimination is a form of racial discrimination that is involved in policies, practices,
and procedures that can negatively affect minorities' access to quality of goods, services, and
opportunities. This form of discrimination involves institutions that hold on to biases and prejudices
and use it to create policies and programs that will mostly benefit white people but will try not to
directly discriminate minorities. Institutions are meant to create and expand opportunities that are
designed to help people but they will find a way to make sure that those opportunities can mostly
help white people. An example of institutional discrimination is denying black families access to
proper food, shelter, and medical facilities. Institutional discrimination is also portrayed in medicine,
whereas white people would get preferential treatment while other minorities would get inferior and
unequal treatment.
"White Like Me" illustrated an example of institutional discrimination by discussing the Social
Security Act, more specifically job insurance. In the film, a Louisiana white man named Steve lost
his job. As soon as he lost his job, Steve goes to a state employment office to register for a new job.

fields, a push emerges for homogeneity once a field is well established (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983).
This notion is referred to as isomorphism, a process that causes organizations experiencing
analogous environmental circumstances to resemble each other (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). Social
context plays an important role in the adaptation of these changes and practices in organizations

Organizations rely heavily on their environments characterized by external norms, rules, and
standards that organizations must acclimate with in order to receive legitimacy and support
(DiMaggio & Powell, 1983; D'Aunno et al., 1999). These requirements, beliefs and norms of the
external environment are usually expressed in the form of a rational myth because of its reflection in
standards (licensures, accreditations), and myths because of not always being empirically distinct.
Organizational Mission, Purpose & Goals
The mission and goals of organizations are to uphold legitimacy and conform within the standards
of the field. These are accomplished through the institutional isomorphic changes – coercive,
mimetic, and normative processes. Coercive isomorphism is the political pressures and regulatory
oversight and control of the state; mimetic processes encourage imitation in times of uncertainty;
and normative pressures draw from the professionalization of the field (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983).
Organizational structure and design Organizations are structured to persevere in an environment of
similar organizations, that define institutional legitimacy (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). Institutional
theory emphasizes valuing organizations for having structures and designs that are in "conformance"
with the environment. The framework is not solely shaped by resource dependencies and technical
aspects, but by institutional forces – rational myths,

Taking a Look at Institutional Repositories
Academic institutions such as the University and College tend to produce academic journal articles
and other scholarly works which in the early days published and kept in the library or disseminate to
other organization. As the production of this material keeps increasing the needs to have a large
storage to keep all the materials became a problem for the institution. This is because some of the
institution did not have a very large storage to cater the needs to keep the materials as the institution
not only keep materials publish from the institution only but also from another institution. As the
technologies revolve, more initiative has been taken to ensure that the scholarly works of an
institution can be disseminated to various part of the world in order to share the knowledge. During

Effects Of Institutional Racism
Institutional racism has solidified its position into various aspects of American society. It has
installed itself into employment practices, all levels of education, healthcare, housing, politics and
the criminal justice system. Institutional racism has made some subtle changes to replace the
boldness of slavery and Jim Crow. However, in educational institutions the effects of racism and
discrimination are so delicate they typically go unnoticed by students of color. Individual racism
usually happens on the personal level where the prejudice is expressed either consciously or
unconsciously while there is some form of interpersonal encounter. When it comes to institutional
racism it is similar to the individual concepts, however policies and practices are associated with
with the belief of racial dominance of one group over another. It is a powerful system that use race
to determine power and privilege(Reynolds et al., 2010). Even after the desegregation of school,
educational institution are still separated. In Shelby County where I have lived since 1999 there are
schools for minorities, and there are schools for whites. The schools for minorities in the city of
Memphis have police officers walking the halls and there no books for learning. There are higher

Pleasantville Racism Paper

ENGL 1100
Nov. 12, 2015
Not as Simple as Black–and–White "Discrimination is behavior, intentional or not, which negatively
treats a person or a group of people based on their racial origins" (Randall). It is unclear what the
exact cause is for people to be prejudiced towards another group of individuals. Racism could
perhaps be triggered by having a fear of people who are different, needing to fit in with others who
are of a racist mindset, and/or being ignorant of other people's cultures. In the 1998 movie
Pleasantville, it is shown that racism and discrimination towards different people occurs because of
sudden changes to an established system and society. In reality, racism is a result of generations of ...

The appearance of color in Pleasantville showed that the town and citizens were undergoing change,
and that this change was making the inhabitants feel free and similar to people from the '90s. When
objects and people around town quickly turned from black–and–white to color, many of the older,
more traditional citizens of the town resisted the change. Pleasantville mayor Big Bob speaks of the
changes, "up until now, everything around here has been, well, pleasant. Recently certain things
have become unpleasant. Now, it seems to me that the first thing we have to do is to separate out the
things that are pleasant from the things that are unpleasant" (Pleasantville). Big Bob and a large
group of citizens, mostly consisting of the older men of the town, form a group of people trying to
keep the town "pleasant," or not colored. This group begins putting up signs around town banning
colored people, similar to situations that African Americans dealt with before the civil rights
movement. They also harass all the colored people on the streets, and even vandalize and destroy

The Growth Of Emerging Markets
1. Introduction
The last decade has seen an increase in internationalisation from emerging market multinationals
(EMNCs), through outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). This internationalisation
phenomenon, has led to increase interest from researchers in the international business discipline
(Cavusgil, 1980; Hoskisson, Eden, Lau, & Wright, 2000; Jormanainen & Koveshnikov, 2012). In
2013, emerging economies invested $553 billion, representing 39% of global OFDI, compared with
only 12% at the beginning of the 2000 (UNCTAD, 2014). These trends are consistent across
different emerging market sub–regions, as organisations that are aggressively investing are doing so
not only from large emerging economies like China, India, Brazil, and Russia but also from a
number of new emerging economies in Asia, Latin America and Africa (Gammeltoft, Pradhan, &
Goldstein, 2010; Goldstein & Bonaglia, 2007). Emerging markets (EM) are seen generally as low
income, rapid growth countries using economic liberalisation as their primary engine of growth
(Hoskisson et al., 2000). The economic liberalisation or open policies adopted by these emerging
markets during the last two decades has led organisations from these economies to internationalize
or seek markets abroad. Emerging markets are known to be heterogeneous in their level of
development and environmental surroundings (Bianchi, 2014). Each manifests different starting

Essay On Institutional Racism
Racial inequality is something I have firsthand experience of and although I have never experienced
institutional racism first hand, I know all too well the effects they have on a society. Institutional
racism is the act of discrimination in areas such as work, education, and housing. Institutional
racism is also apparent in the criminal justice system. Institutional racism largely effects the African
American and Hispanic demographics. I look at institutional racism as policies put in place to keep a
certain group at an extreme disadvantage in life. Whether it is education, career advancement,
scholarship opportunity, career opportunity, or simply living life worry free, minorities are at an
extreme disadvantage.

Educational inequality correlates with judicial racism. Public schools in communities where the
population is predominately made up of minorities receive a disadvantage to schools outside of
these communities. Not only are these schools given fewer funds, but they are also given fewer
books (the books they often do receive are in bad shape), lower quality of education, fewer
extracurricular activities as well as fewer supplies outside of books. Education is, for most, a
deciding factor in terms of relieving oneself from poverty. Those with less education tend to stay in
the trap that is poverty. Those who do receive a better education manage to relieve themselves of
poverty in the form of better career and job opportunities as well as better opportunities for higher
education. According to the Department of Education "...schools serving low–income students are
being shortchanged because school districts across the country are inequitably distributing their state
and local funds". .

questioning conditions, which eventually helped the party unite itself. It has long controlled the
Federal District. When it comes to elections and the process the (PRD) has allied in the past with the
Labor Party or the Partido Del Trabajo (PT) a labor party formed in 1990
Our third and final major political party is the Partido Revolucionario Institutional or PRI. This

Institutional Control
In explaining institutional control over individuals through social theory, Jürgen Habermas and
Michel Foucault present distinctive arguments with the theory of everyday practice and theory of
power, respectively. The college classroom setting can be used as an example to apply each theory
to the theme of institutional control.
Habermas takes from phenomenology his theory of everyday practice which is the practice by which
people recreate a common understanding through daily human interactions. This is similar to Erving
Goffman's idea of reconstructing reality through performances. Habermas distinguishes this as a
mutual reconstruction of social interaction that is rooted in the lifeworld. Habermas is concerned
about the systems, of which ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Here, it is mainly discipline. Foucault sees many similarities to how the prison system, the hospital
system is run and how education is taught. Power is an invisible but intrinsic force that takes the
form of discipline in these systems as well as the education system. Foucault uses the example of a
parish school to exemplify how discipline is intrinsically a part of education. In the parish school,
students were not only scholars learning side by side but also officers (intendants, observers,
monitors, etc...) who supervised each other and marked down bad practice so that "a relation of
surveillance, defined and regulated, is inscribed at the heart of the practice of teaching, not as an
additional or adjacent part, but as a mechanism that is inherent to it and which increases its
efficiency" (Foucault 1977:176). In Foucault's college classroom, students and teachers are the
watchful eye, surveilling each other and enacting power to keep the class productive. The professor
could tell students to keep phones off, students would tell other students to stop distracting them
with miscellaneous content seen through laptops, and my friend would nudge me awake when I fell

Several historical events played a vital role in what has evolved to how we conduct research today
and just as important, how the participants of such research are shielded and protected against the
consequences that may be experienced as a result of these studies. We live in a world that is
continuously changing and as we move forward, it is past experiences that influence how things are
done in the present, and what may become in the future. The Institutional Review Board (IRB)
exists to protect research subjects and ensure their rights are safeguarded and protected. This paper
will discuss the role of the IRB and the protection of human subjects, the dilemma of societal
advancements versus its cost on human subjects and the role of leadership in the IRB.
The Role of the IRB and the Protection of Human Subjects
The IRB's role is to protect human subjects and to hold researchers accountable for the way in which
information is collected and utilized for research (Sontag, 2012). Research must undergo a formal
review process, which for many researchers may appear to be onerous but necessary (Kennedy,
2005).
What some scholars argue is the fact that IRB approval is still required for research on adults who
are fully competent and willing to participate in the research. They suggest that it becomes
burdensome on the researchers. Furthermore, they argue that if exempted from the review process, it
may also free up time for the review board to be able to focus on research that

Michael Asher in the 1970s, not much to look at, but a lot to think about. In essence, Institutional
Critique is a protest against museums/galleries demanding them to view art and art exhibition in

In 1971, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum was to present a solo show of Haacke's work, which
was to include the controversial piece, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Board of Trustees (1974),
but the museum director cancelled the exhibition. This was partially due to Haacke's refusal to omit
the work from the show, but mostly because of the piece's subject matter. This piece consists of two
framed panels with lists of the museum's board of trustees, which would be acceptable to showcase
because this knowledge would be readily available, but Haacke added five more panels listing the
corporate sponsors of the museum along with each member's other affiliations with corporations.
This work exposed the inner mechanisms of the institution by revealing the trustees' questionable
affiliations and the financial backers of the museum. In addition, this piece exemplifies Institutional
Critique precisely because of its focus on the museum itself over the artwork. After all, this piece
cannot be sold at auction, which is an essential aspect of galleries and museums. The piece is, to an
extent, also site–specific in that the trust essence of the piece could only be felt if it was exhibited in

Determinants of Health, 2017). Power, privilege, and health all play a role in these social
determinants. For example, one of the determinants is "Availability of community–based resources
in support of community living and opportunities for recreational and leisure–time activities"
(Social Determinants of Heath, 20175). If a community has more power, that increases their chance
for bringing in more money. If a community has more money, they can afford to have all these
community resources mentioned. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), everyone's health can benefit from physical activity (Physical Activity and Health, 2015). So
having the power and privileges helps communities with maintaining overall good health. However,
communities that do not have the power or privileges to afford these community–based resources

structurally to disadvantage African Americans. Whenever a black family moved to another home,
the values of the surrounding homes decreased. This was another form of structural inequality

Institutional Sexism In The Workplace
The U.S. is known to have many issues in its society including racism and sexism. There have been
laws that were made in attempt to stop discrimination against color but to this day, women still aren't
seen as equals to men. Institutional sexism is the discrimination of a certain gender at a workplace.
Sexism is portrayed in the differences between the number of men versus the number of females that
have management positions, get higher pay, have more opportunities for advancement and, are more
likely to get hired. This oppression against women can impact lives of many women emotionally,
mentally, and physically. Sexism also leads to sexual violence and domestic violence because the
idea that women and men are unequal causes women to be taken advantage of at home, at work, and

The Trading Dynamics of Institutional Investors
The fraction of corporate equity owned by institutional investors has grown considerably in the past
several decades; institutional holding of shares in U.S. equities has increased from approximately

investors are managing such a sizable wealth invested in U.S. equity market has potential important
role in term of setting market prices. The growing impact of institutional investors on capital
markets has induced to increased research on the behavior of this group of investors both by
academics and policy makers, who tend to believe that institutional investor follow momentum
based strategies, and often are alleged to herdinglike behavior and following destabilizing trading
strategies.

Why is institutional racism so important to our understanding of racial inequalities in Britain today?
The Commission for Racial Equality has stated that institutional racism involves a process by which
a range of public and private bodies systemically discriminate against people of ethnic minorities.
Sivanandan, the director at the Institute of Race Relations defines institutional racism as "that
which, covertly or overtly, resides in the policies, procedures, operations and culture of public or
private institutions – reinforcing individual prejudices and being reinforced by them in turn."
It can be defined as established law, practices and customs which in practice systemically reflect and

Therefore the latter form of institutional racism is found widespread in British public institutions.
Racial inequalities are rife in housing, education, health, politics and authorities.
The problem of defining the line between individual and institutionally racist behaviour is
encountered due to the fact that the working of the institution is encountered as actions performed
by individuals within it, therefore making it difficult to defer between the two. Macpherson
struggled in many respects in showing that racism he identifies is institutional as opposed to
individual.
Race based discrimination in housing, education, employment of financial organisations are all
forms of institutional racism and can be distinguished by bigotry or racial bias of individuals within
these institutions though the prevalence of systematic and pervasive polices which work to the
disadvantage of minority ethnic groups.

It has been argued that the labour market position and employment status of minority ethnic groups
are significant to understanding the different experiences they face and the extent to which

Maximizing value does not mean that a firm has to be illegal and social outlaw.
1.4 GENERAL GOODNESS OF SOCIETY
According to Bratton and Wachter (2013) found that Shareholder value maximization is broadly
associated with social welfare maximization. Those who make the relationship tend to go on to state
that management agency costs are extreme and that increased shareholder power would reduce the
costs. Reduced agency costs by definition enhance shareholder value, which in turn is assumed to
imply social welfare enhancement.
Bratton and Wachter (2013) also found that the shareholder interest, as the outstanding right on
corporate wealth, is straight aligned with society's interest in maximizing corporate–and therefore
societal–wealth, and so the shareholder interest succeeds for political attentiveness. In current years,
the mission for political attentiveness has made the jump from theory to practice: a "shareholder
class" is said to have risen in our political economy as a side–shoot of the growth of stock
ownership among the middle class. Therefore, real–world shareholders again are seen to bear on

Institutional Violence Analysis

  • 1. Institutional Violence Analysis Chapter 4 informed me about Institutional Violence, what it means, and the types of institutional violence and how this form of violence affects society. Institutional violence has many aspects such as intimate partner violence, child abuse, educational, religious, corporate, media and environmental violence. I found the section on family violence interesting and I also learned a lot of new facts and disturbing details about dangerous consumer products that either cause major and widespread illness or even death. I was able to learn more in depth about the characteristics of corporate violence and who the founding father of corporate crime is, Edwin Sutherland, thanks to this man corporate violence was brought to the forefront and acknowledged in the corporate world. Family violence includes spousal intimate partner violence and child abuse and neglect. In reading about Intimate partner violence I was not surprised to find that poverty plays a big role in violent tendencies in relationships. Personally, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Institutional Review Boards Essay Running Head: UNIT 5 ASSIGNMENT Unit 5 Assignment Template Candeece Lucas July 21, 2014 HN410 – Human Services & Delivery Kaplan University IRB is an abbreviation for the institutional review board. Informed by the need to review human biomedical and behavioral research to the mutual benefit of the researcher and the sample population oversight, responsibilities have to be designated to an impartial body. In light of this, the IRB is also commonly referred to as the independent ethics committee or the ethical review board. Indeed, biomedical and behavioral research on humans is not a light discipline as some of the research tenets border on life and death. It is thus important to evaluate whether the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Thus, two of the board members conduct the review for presentation to the full board at the earliest opportunity (Grady, 2010). In the event that a researcher was to create a plan to evaluate a program or intervention, the expedited review presents the best option for review by the board. This is because the process is much swifter compared to the full review and given the fact that most of the interventions have timelines, it comes in handy. This is among other benefits of the review. The full review is the third category where the whole board is involved and intense interrogation of the research is done, when the research has to meet all the laid out requirements.For research that requires the utility of special populations like patients that have been diagnosed with certain diseases, some ethical risks are present. They may include the endangering of the life of the patient and adverse side effects of the treatment. In most cases, for this type of research, risk assessment in terms of statistics come in handy where the possibilities are explained to the participant and well recorded in liability forms (Millum & Menikoff, 2010). If a program has research projects and does not follow the IRB review, the repercussions may include: bearing the burden of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 5. Institutional Programs In Prisons Describe the role of institutional programs in prison including the different types of programs that are offered to inmates. The role of institutional programs is to help manage time. While the focus is to manage time, institutional programs also give inmates the opportunity to improve their lives. There are five different types of programs that are offered to inmates. Rehabilitative programs, medical services, industrial programs, maintenance programs, and recreational programs. The goal of the rehabilitative programs is to reform the inmates behavior. Rehabilitative programs are divided into different sections such as psychological, behavioral, social, educational and vocational, substance abuse, sex offender, and religious programs. Rehabilitative ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Under discretionary release, an inmate is released from prison but is under supervision by the parole board. The parole board uses information about the inmate such as behavior and the inmates participation in rehabilitative programs to determine the inmates future behavior. By doing so, this gives the parole board to determine if the prisoner is ready for release. Mandatory release is another way that inmates are released into the community. Under mandatory release, the inmate is released after serving his or her total sentence. Mandatory release takes the place of the parole board to decide if the inmate is ready to be released. Bookkeeping on the inmate is apart of mandatory release to make sure that the prisoners time is accurate and that he or she has served the right amount of time. After the inmate is released, he or she is released under parole supervision for the rest of their sentence. Probation release is the most common release for inmates. Most inmates who are on probation release are first time offenders and have to do a minimum sentence. Probation release takes place when a judge allows the inmate to spend a certain period of his or her sentence in the community under probation supervision. Probation release can include anything dealing with the community such as cleaning up highways, removing graffiti, and other things that can be beneficial to the community.

Institutional Markets : Institutional Investors Institutional investors are any organizations or persons which collect quite number sums of money to invest in securities and also control a collection of share amounts to qualify for special treatment and less regulation. They can also include operating companies that decide to invest their profits to some degree in these types of assets. Insurance companies, mutual funds and pension funds are some examples of institutional investors. These institutional investors need to face some regulations. "Institutional investors always participate in private placements of securities due to their sophistication, in which certain aspects of the securities laws may be inapplicable." These institutional investors play role in the economy is to act as highly specialized investors on behalf of others. For example, an employee will have a pension from his employer as the employer gives that person 's pension contributions to a fund and the fund will be used to buy shares in a company, or some other financial product. Funds are greatly useful because they will hold a broad portfolio of investments in many companies. This spreads risk, so if one company fails, it will be only a small part of the whole fund 's investment. Types of Institutional Investors in United Kingdom.

I am currently employed by the Westinghouse Electric Company. Westinghouse's main business is to construct, maintain and repair nuclear power plants around the world. The nuclear industry is highly regulated by government entities around the world. This regulation can often times impact the culture for companies and project teams alike. To help aid in this discussion on group dynamics in the nuclear industry I will provide examples of the impact on a global company. I will discuss the concept of institutional constancy including the positive and negative impacts on the group and cultural ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... I think that the most significant impact can be found in the idea that an organization is looking to maintain somewhat homogenous unit. Homogeneity lends itself to challenges when making decisions, groupthink and potentially stalling innovation. When making decisions group diversity and thought processes are important. Johnson and Johnson (2013) discuss this, "Overall, whether for better or worse, the range of skills and abilities a group can access in its diverse members affects its performance on creative and decision making tasks"(p. 421). In my opinion, institutional constancy intentional works to eliminate the concept of diversity of groups, by creating specific procedures and policies on how tasks are to be completed. This discussion of diversity is focused on the idea diverse opinions and experience and not that of age or race. The lack of diversity in decision making is ripe for increasing the potential for groupthink. "Groupthink is the collective striving for unanimity that overrides group members' motivation to appraise alternative courses of action realistically..." (p. 271). Groupthink lends itself for an error–prone decision making model. Finally, institutional constancy has the ability to stall innovation and prohibit creativity. Johnson and Johnson discuss several procedures to promote creativity. Those procedures ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 11. Hobbes on Institutional Sovereignty A right, or power, institutional sovereignty is said to have addresses protest against the sovereign. Hobbes makes extremely clear that actions of the instituted sovereign are wholly protected. This particularly lucid in the following: Thirdly, because the major part hath by consenting voices declared a sovereign, he that dissented mu8st now consent with the rest . . . or else be justly destroyed by the rest. For if he voluntarily entered into the congregation of them that were assembled, he sufficiently declared thereby his will . . . to stand there to what the major part should ordain; and therefore, if he refuse to stand thereto, or make protestation . . . he does contrary to the covenant, and therefore unjustly . . . he must submit ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It is also important to note that Hobbes brings to light the solvency, or legality, of both types of sovereignty, as both are rooted in fear. That is to say, it is held that " . . .all such covenants as proceed from fear of death or violence [are] void," meaning neither sovereignty should maintain legitimacy. However, Hobbes reconciles this by stating that it is after sovereignty is established that fear of death or violence cannot oblige people to agree. (127) Furthermore, simple the presence of fear cannot invalidate covenants, as commonwealths would be impossible to create. (127) Combined with the fact that there exists choice in both institutional and acquisitioned sovereignty, there is support for the legal groundings of both and they are consequently placed on equal footing for asserting their relative claims of right. (128) With regard to the claims of right sovereignty through acquisition has, it shares all of those demonstrated in institutional sovereignty. Hobbes lists these rights that are reflected in sovereignty by acquisition: But the rights and consequences of sovereignty are the same in both. His power cannot, without his consent, be transferred to another; he cannot forfeit it; he cannot be accused by any of his subjects of injury; he cannot be punished by them; he is judge of what is necessary for peace, and judge of doctrines; he is sole legislator, and supreme judge of controversies, and of the ...

Essay On Institutional Incarceration ncreased rates of incarceration came with growing rates of institutional violence and major disturbances within U.S. correctional institutions have resulted in increased importance being placed on the development of accurate and efficient correctional risk classification methods. "In the current study, institutional infractions were tracked from correctional intake for 17,054 male and female incarcerated offenders." In order to allow observation of problematic behaviors, institutional infractions were put into categories based on an inmate's ability to be physically aggressive, verbally aggressive or defiant, and nonviolent infractions. After analysis and examination of inmates, there were several occurrences with dynamic situations that took place. Institutional violence and misconduct was examined during these times, as well. Information was taken into consideration during these investigations. The information consisted of individuals, age, gang ...

According to these authors, rates of incarceration have steadily increased at an average rate of 3.4% per year since 1995, requiring most federal and state institutions to operate at or above capacity. The overage has placed increased pressure on prison officials to efficiently classify newly incarcerated offenders. (Caperton, Edens, & Johnson, 2004). Balancing efficiency, accuracy, and cost, inmate classification procedures influence most aspects of an individual's incarceration, including housing decisions, special services such as mental health services, rehabilitation strategies, institutional privileges, management strategies, and security level (Clements, 1996; Loza & Loza–Fanous, 2002; Proctor, 1994; Van Voorhis & Brown, 1996; Wang & Diamond, 1999).

Institutional Discrimination In Education Unweaving Institutionalized Discrimination Kirk Sigler's Protesting racial bias, students trade placards for pillows for NPR tells the story of the students at Occidental College, one of the most diverse campuses in America, and how they're trying to reform administration. The students occupied the administration building for a week, holding workshops on diversity to change the culture of the school. At the beginning, they gave administration a list of demands to address the systemic racial biases on campus, including students being profiled by security (Sigler, 2015). Along with improving security, they asked for a black studies program, more faculty that were persons of color, and a Vice President for diversity. In addition, they are not ...

Despite the fact that the college was not willing to meet one–hundred percent of the demands of the students, it still shows progress towards ending this discrimination. Since there has been media coverage of the issue, it has the potential to inspire students at other schools to do the same to ensure campuses are safe places for students regardless of their race. In addition, with more classes about different races and cultures, campuses would have more educated staff and students leading to an overall decrease in institutionalized discrimination. As Henslin says, "With their focus on the broader picture, sociologists encourage us to examine institutional discrimination, that is, to see how discrimination is woven into the fabric of society" (2014, p. 331). Forward actions by student bodies can begin to unweave this discrimination from society, carrying over into the work force and broader society with more educated students taking that knowledge with ...

The reason why there is a strong linkage between socioeconomic class and race in this country is due to institutionalized racism and discrimination. 2 The Jim Crow Laws were a set of laws established by southern states to successfully to eliminate African Americans from the American political and legal system––a de jure form of discrimination. These southern states (consisting of Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia and Kentucky) ensured white supremacy over African Americans by establishing laws that included no interracial marriages, segregation in schools, healthcare, public facilities, housing, entertainment, prison, free speech and libraries. In Mississippi, marriage of a white person with a "Negro" or "mulatto" or person having one–eighth or more "Negro" blood was void. New Mexico said that books shouldn't be shared by white and "Negro" children and that if "colored people" were to go to the library to read then the librarian need to set up a confined space for them. A white child being in custody of a black person was "unlawful" in South Carolina. 3 The southern white plantation owners were despots, greedy for power and obsessed with maintaining that power. The Jim Crow Laws was social engineering of the African American race, something Carl Marx would describe as alienation. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 21. Institutional Racism Racism can be enacted individually or institutionally. Institutions can respond to Blacks and Whites differently. Institutional behavior can injure Blacks, and when it does, it is racist in the outcome, if not in intent (2008). Racism remains an ingrained part of the American experience for many ethnic populations. Racism thrives even among many other organizations, obstructing the effectiveness of the programs and services offered. One primary way to determine institutional racism is seeing how many officers are minorities versus ones who are not. Another way to tell is seeing how many black people are pulled over by white cops every day. Strength in realizing the institutional racism exists is hard because the evidence is not as concrete. ...

Discrimination of protected groups (ie. African–Americans) from businesses is prohibited, which allows the prospect of equal rights in employment. The law reaches out to cover protected groups while in 'public accommodations,' for example; private, meaning retail businesses, and public, such as town squares. This is information from findlaw.com, informing the idea that no discriminatory actions should be acted upon due to race, colour, religion or disability. Jay Michaelson of The Daily Beast, apprises the 'Disparate Impact'. The 'Disparate Impact' allows a person to challenge actions by organisations they believe are discriminatory towards race, colour, religion or sex.

  • 25. Institutional Racism There are two different levels of racism found in contemporary health care; institutional and interpersonal racism. Institutional racism encompasses policies and practices carried out by government and other institutions that may limit the benefits received by Indigenous Australians compared with non–Indigenous Australians. An example where institutional racism may play a factor in clinical practice is a lack of culturally appropriate materials or treatment options for Indigenous patients (Shah, A. 2007) Interpersonal racism is the discriminatory interactions between individuals. This includes degrading comments or behaviours by a health care worker or discriminatory behaviours of other individuals in the community (Larson, A., Gillies, M., Howard, P. J., Coddin, J. 2007) Researchers have found compelling evidence connecting the impacts of Indigenous discrimination to the root cause of extreme socio–economic and health disadvantages (Larson, A., Gillies, M., Howard, P. J., Coddin, J. 2007). A study of the Indigenous population by 'Flinders University' reported that 97% of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders taking part in the research, regularly experienced racism. These staggering results highlight that this is still an ongoing contemporary issue that continues to be the root of many physical and mental health issues commonly experienced by the community (Creative Spirits, 2017) Discrimination of any form impacts many Indigenous people and can carry with it lifelong issues. Stress and self–diminishing emotional reactions are major factors caused by discrimination and can have unfavourable impacts on one's physical and mental health and wellbeing. One's animosity and humiliation can provoke a range of biological responses in the body causing cardiovascular diseases, heightened blood pressure and disrupted neurological processes that can affect immune functions in the body (Larson, A., Gillies, M., Howard, P. J., Coffin, J. 2007) Chronic exposure to racism can also result in long– term external issues including low levels of education, unemployment, housing issues, high rates of incarceration as well as a physical sense of exclusion from the wider community (Hampton, R., Toombs, M. 2013, p. 31). ...

However, unlike my IPPE community experience I had some confidence and lots of optimism having been in the professional division (pharmacy school) for a little over two years.

  • 35. Institutional Cortination Is A Form Of Institutional... Institutional discrimination is a form of racial discrimination that is involved in policies, practices, and procedures that can negatively affect minorities' access to quality of goods, services, and opportunities. This form of discrimination involves institutions that hold on to biases and prejudices and use it to create policies and programs that will mostly benefit white people but will try not to directly discriminate minorities. Institutions are meant to create and expand opportunities that are designed to help people but they will find a way to make sure that those opportunities can mostly help white people. An example of institutional discrimination is denying black families access to proper food, shelter, and medical facilities. Institutional discrimination is also portrayed in medicine, whereas white people would get preferential treatment while other minorities would get inferior and unequal treatment. "White Like Me" illustrated an example of institutional discrimination by discussing the Social Security Act, more specifically job insurance. In the film, a Louisiana white man named Steve lost his job. As soon as he lost his job, Steve goes to a state employment office to register for a new job. In order for him to register, he cannot fall into the categories of workers that they do not insure, such as agricultural workers and domestic service workers in private homes. Coincidentally, black people mostly held those jobs and Congress were aware of that. In order ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Although, diversity is visible in the initial stages of organizational fields, a push emerges for homogeneity once a field is well established (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). This notion is referred to as isomorphism, a process that causes organizations experiencing analogous environmental circumstances to resemble each other (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). Social context plays an important role in the adaptation of these changes and practices in organizations (D'Aunno, Vaughn, McElroy, 1999).

Organizations rely heavily on their environments characterized by external norms, rules, and standards that organizations must acclimate with in order to receive legitimacy and support (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983; D'Aunno et al., 1999). These requirements, beliefs and norms of the external environment are usually expressed in the form of a rational myth because of its reflection in standards (licensures, accreditations), and myths because of not always being empirically distinct. Organizational Mission, Purpose & Goals The mission and goals of organizations are to uphold legitimacy and conform within the standards of the field. These are accomplished through the institutional isomorphic changes – coercive, mimetic, and normative processes. Coercive isomorphism is the political pressures and regulatory oversight and control of the state; mimetic processes encourage imitation in times of uncertainty; and normative pressures draw from the professionalization of the field (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). Organizational structure and design Organizations are structured to persevere in an environment of similar organizations, that define institutional legitimacy (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983).

As the production of this material keeps increasing the needs to have a large storage to keep all the materials became a problem for the institution. This is because some of the institution did not have a very large storage to cater the needs to keep the materials as the institution not only keep materials publish from the institution only but also from another institution. As the technologies revolve, more initiative has been taken to ensure that the scholarly works of an institution can be disseminated to various part of the world in order to share the knowledge.

It has installed itself into employment practices, all levels of education, healthcare, housing, politics and the criminal justice system. Institutional racism has made some subtle changes to replace the boldness of slavery and Jim Crow. However, in educational institutions the effects of racism and discrimination are so delicate they typically go unnoticed by students of color. Individual racism usually happens on the personal level where the prejudice is expressed either consciously or unconsciously while there is some form of interpersonal encounter. When it comes to institutional racism it is similar to the individual concepts, however policies and practices are associated with with the belief of racial dominance of one group over another.

It is unclear what the exact cause is for people to be prejudiced towards another group of individuals. Racism could perhaps be triggered by having a fear of people who are different, needing to fit in with others who are of a racist mindset, and/or being ignorant of other people's cultures.

The appearance of color in Pleasantville showed that the town and citizens were undergoing change, and that this change was making the inhabitants feel free and similar to people from the '90s. When objects and people around town quickly turned from black–and–white to color, many of the older, more traditional citizens of the town resisted the change. Pleasantville mayor Big Bob speaks of the changes, "up until now, everything around here has been, well, pleasant. Recently certain things have become unpleasant. Now, it seems to me that the first thing we have to do is to separate out the things that are pleasant from the things that are unpleasant" (Pleasantville). Big Bob and a large group of citizens, mostly consisting of the older men of the town, form a group of people trying to keep the town "pleasant," or not colored. This group begins putting up signs around town banning colored people, similar to situations that African Americans dealt with before the civil rights movement. They also harass all the colored people on the streets, and even vandalize and destroy Bill Johnson's shop for having colorful art on the windows.

  • 47. The Growth Of Emerging Markets 1. Introduction The last decade has seen an increase in internationalisation from emerging market multinationals (EMNCs), through outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). This internationalisation phenomenon, has led to increase interest from researchers in the international business discipline (Cavusgil, 1980; Hoskisson, Eden, Lau, & Wright, 2000; Jormanainen & Koveshnikov, 2012). In 2013, emerging economies invested $553 billion, representing 39% of global OFDI, compared with only 12% at the beginning of the 2000 (UNCTAD, 2014). These trends are consistent across different emerging market sub–regions, as organisations that are aggressively investing are doing so not only from large emerging economies like China, India, Brazil, and Russia but also from a number of new emerging economies in Asia, Latin America and Africa (Gammeltoft, Pradhan, & Goldstein, 2010; Goldstein & Bonaglia, 2007). Emerging markets (EM) are seen generally as low income, rapid growth countries using economic liberalisation as their primary engine of growth (Hoskisson et al., 2000). The economic liberalisation or open policies adopted by these emerging markets during the last two decades has led organisations from these economies to internationalize or seek markets abroad. Emerging markets are known to be heterogeneous in their level of development and environmental surroundings (Bianchi, 2014). Each manifests different starting points or different stages of ...

Public schools in communities where the population is predominately made up of minorities receive a disadvantage to schools outside of these communities. Not only are these schools given fewer funds, but they are also given fewer books (the books they often do receive are in bad shape), lower quality of education, fewer extracurricular activities as well as fewer supplies outside of books. Education is, for most, a deciding factor in terms of relieving oneself from poverty. Those with less education tend to stay in the trap that is poverty. Those who do receive a better education manage to relieve themselves of poverty in the form of better career and job opportunities as well as better opportunities for higher education.

Institutional Control In explaining institutional control over individuals through social theory, Jürgen Habermas and Michel Foucault present distinctive arguments with the theory of everyday practice and theory of power, respectively. The college classroom setting can be used as an example to apply each theory to the theme of institutional control. Habermas takes from phenomenology his theory of everyday practice which is the practice by which people recreate a common understanding through daily human interactions. This is similar to Erving Goffman's idea of reconstructing reality through performances. Habermas distinguishes this as a mutual reconstruction of social interaction that is rooted in the lifeworld. Habermas is concerned about the systems, of which ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Here, it is mainly discipline. Foucault sees many similarities to how the prison system, the hospital system is run and how education is taught. Power is an invisible but intrinsic force that takes the form of discipline in these systems as well as the education system. Foucault uses the example of a parish school to exemplify how discipline is intrinsically a part of education. In the parish school, students were not only scholars learning side by side but also officers (intendants, observers, monitors, etc...) who supervised each other and marked down bad practice so that "a relation of surveillance, defined and regulated, is inscribed at the heart of the practice of teaching, not as an additional or adjacent part, but as a mechanism that is inherent to it and which increases its efficiency" (Foucault 1977:176). In Foucault's college classroom, students and teachers are the watchful eye, surveilling each other and enacting power to keep the class productive.

Several historical events played a vital role in what has evolved to how we conduct research today and just as important, how the participants of such research are shielded and protected against the consequences that may be experienced as a result of these studies. We live in a world that is continuously changing and as we move forward, it is past experiences that influence how things are done in the present, and what may become in the future. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) exists to protect research subjects and ensure their rights are safeguarded and protected. This paper will discuss the role of the IRB and the protection of human subjects, the dilemma of societal advancements versus its cost on human subjects and the role of leadership in the IRB. The Role of the IRB and the Protection of Human Subjects The IRB's role is to protect human subjects and to hold researchers accountable for the way in which information is collected and utilized for research (Sontag, 2012). Research must undergo a formal review process, which for many researchers may appear to be onerous but necessary (Kennedy, 2005). What some scholars argue is the fact that IRB approval is still required for research on adults who are fully competent and willing to participate in the research.

This was partially due to Haacke's refusal to omit the work from the show, but mostly because of the piece's subject matter. This piece consists of two framed panels with lists of the museum's board of trustees, which would be acceptable to showcase because this knowledge would be readily available, but Haacke added five more panels listing the corporate sponsors of the museum along with each member's other affiliations with corporations. This work exposed the inner mechanisms of the institution by revealing the trustees' questionable affiliations and the financial backers of the museum. In addition, this piece exemplifies Institutional Critique precisely because of its focus on the museum itself over the artwork. After all, this piece cannot be sold at auction, which is an essential aspect of galleries and museums. The piece is, to an extent, also site–specific in that the trust essence of the piece could only be felt if it was exhibited in the institution it was criticizing, although Haacke never exhibited it at the Guggenheim.

The Trading Dynamics of Institutional Investors The fraction of corporate equity owned by institutional investors has grown considerably in the past several decades; institutional holding of shares in U.S. equities has increased from approximately 16% in 1965 to over 50% in 2010 (Federal Reserve Board, 2011). The fact that institutional investors are managing such a sizable wealth invested in U.S. equity market has potential important role in term of setting market prices. The growing impact of institutional investors on capital markets has induced to increased research on the behavior of this group of investors both by academics and policy makers, who tend to believe that institutional investor follow momentum based strategies, and often are alleged to herdinglike behavior and following destabilizing trading strategies. Recent studies investigating the behavior of institutional investors document three main results. First, institutional investors are momentum traders (buying past winners and selling past losers) and are more likely to follow past prices (citet*{grinblatt1995momentum}).

The Commission for Racial Equality has stated that institutional racism involves a process by which a range of public and private bodies systemically discriminate against people of ethnic minorities. Sivanandan, the director at the Institute of Race Relations defines institutional racism as "that which, covertly or overtly, resides in the policies, procedures, operations and culture of public or private institutions – reinforcing individual prejudices and being reinforced by them in turn." It can be defined as established law, practices and customs which in practice systemically reflect and produce racial inequalities within society. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Therefore the latter form of institutional racism is found widespread in British public institutions. Racial inequalities are rife in housing, education, health, politics and authorities. The problem of defining the line between individual and institutionally racist behaviour is encountered due to the fact that the working of the institution is encountered as actions performed by individuals within it, therefore making it difficult to defer between the two. Macpherson struggled in many respects in showing that racism he identifies is institutional as opposed to individual. Race based discrimination in housing, education, employment of financial organisations are all forms of institutional racism and can be distinguished by bigotry or racial bias of individuals within these institutions though the prevalence of systematic and pervasive polices which work to the disadvantage of minority ethnic groups. • Employment It has been argued that the labour market position and employment status of minority ethnic groups are significant to understanding the different experiences they face and the extent to which institutional racism can severely affect their life chances. Modood et al (1997) has noted that discrimination whether it being direct or indirect, individual or institutional, still appears a powerful constraint on career prospect ...

Maximizing value does not mean that a firm has to be illegal and social outlaw. 1.4 GENERAL GOODNESS OF SOCIETY According to Bratton and Wachter (2013) found that Shareholder value maximization is broadly associated with social welfare maximization. Those who make the relationship tend to go on to state that management agency costs are extreme and that increased shareholder power would reduce the costs. Reduced agency costs by definition enhance shareholder value, which in turn is assumed to imply social welfare enhancement. Bratton and Wachter (2013) also found that the shareholder interest, as the outstanding right on corporate wealth, is straight aligned with society's interest in maximizing corporate–and therefore societal–wealth, and so the shareholder interest succeeds for political attentiveness. In current years, the mission for political attentiveness has made the jump from theory to practice: a "shareholder class" is said to have risen in our political economy as a side–shoot of the growth of stock ownership among the middle class.
