    Claimcounterclaim on Recyling

    Recycling has been a well known idea for so many years, but now we need it more than ever. Now in the world there are so many problems with the environment like Global Warming, toxic waste, and not to mention not recycling is very costly but recycling reduces the landfill space, helps conserves natural resources, and reduces the production of greenhouse gases . When you recycle you also help save animals so the rims of a six pack of soda doesn’t end up blocking a fish's gills or a plastic bag getting eaten by a turtle and having it choke on the bag. Recycling can also be a group effort where you get a group of people from your community, school, church, job, or just you and your friends so not only your saving the environment but your having fun with people you know while doing it.…

    Army Profession Of Arms

    A member of the Army does not simply become an Army professional overnight. The Army professional, as a member of the Profession of Arms, is bound to uphold two great commitments. The first is commitment in service of the American people. Our government derives its authority from the will of the people and through this we receive our mandate to uphold and preserve the Constitution. The second commitment of the Army professional is to his or her fellow soldiers. The lethality of our profession demands that we care for and trust in the soldiers to our left and right. Taken together, these two commitments define the Army professional.…

    Proposal on the Disposal of Old Computers by Recycling

    In preparation for the replacement our old computers with new ones here in our company I strongly suggests that all obsolete and non-working machines be recycled and must be disposed of properly according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA ) Standards of Recycling in order not to destroy the environment from its hazardous components. "The EPA estimates that, in 2009, 438 million electronic products were sold on the US, and 2.5 million tons were ready for end-of-life management; both numbers are increasing substantially each year" (www.epa.gov, 2012, Electronics Challenge, p. 1). "Computers also contain other hazardous materials, including mercury, cadmium (a known carcinogen, and hexavalent chromium (shown to cause high blood pressure, iron-poor blood, liver disease, and nerve and brain damage in animals)". (Meyer, El Ella, & Young, 2004. Imagining if we have 500 computers to dispose of, including its monitors attached to it, we are leaving approximately 3,000 lbs. of lead in the ground contaminating our environment if we do not recycle them properly.…

    Army Recruitment

    Recruitment of the United States military is a vital part of maintaining an all volunteer military force. Because of recent world events and the high operations tempo of the military, Army has had some problems with its recruitment. Convincing civilians to sign up to be a solider can be a tough job when it requires being sent 7,000 miles from home to go fight in a war zone. What can recruiters do to keep recruitment levels where they need to be to maintain an all volunteer United States military force and how is technology changing their tactics?…

    Recomendation Paper

    You don’t have to be a techie to know that computers have become as fundamental to your business as a telephone. And if you think back a few years, I’ll bet you can’t imagine using that old computer equipment to do the work that you are doing today. My guess is that if you are like most organizations, when you’ve upgraded your equipment you’ve found a place to store the old stuff, because you know that just putting it in the trash isn’t a good or very responsible idea. So I’m guessing that a storage closet, a basement or store room is where I could find one or more hardware devices that you no longer use (and never will again) just gathering dust. How do I know you won’t ever use them? Because technology has advanced at a rate that you wouldn’t even consider the time and trouble it would take to operate that old equipment. And the stuff that you’ve been storing isn’t just worthless to you, but to almost every other business out there. In fact, it’s estimated that stored IT equipment loses six to 10 percent of its value each month. (Morgan, 2006) I have done extensive internet research about organizations that have implemented computer recycling programs and the benefits of those programs. In the fall of 2004, Lorain County Community College Professor Hikmat Chedid saw a gap in our world. “I had many students,” recalled Chedid, who teaches Computer Systems and Electronic Engineering Technology, “who didn’t have a computer at home to do their work on.” Chedid labeled this absence - “The…
