The dictionary defines punctual as: Acting or arriving exactly at the time appointed; prompt. Under the rigid and disciplined structure of military life there is no margin for error. The slightest modicum of hesitation or procrastination can result in the tragic loss of innumerable lives. There are many circumstances where a failure to be prompt could have dire consequences. Under certain circumstances not arriving for guard duty at the designated time could allow a breach of security that could ultimately end in the brutal murder of your peacefully slumbering, unsuspecting battle buddies at the zealous hands of our insurgent foes. Choosing an example from a different segment of the spectrum of responsibility, we see how a noncommissioned …show more content…
The resulting explosion and impact result in all souls on board departing this mortal plane to meet their respective makers and the judgments they have earned. Meanwhile, our almost forgotten and mostly overlooked sole survivor is informed of his unit’s misfortune and their ultimate demise. Over the next days and weeks our protagonist begins displaying the signs and symptoms of what experts like to call “Survivor Syndrome”. He becomes wracked with guilt that he did not perish with his brothers in arms. Unable to rid himself of his personal demons he may attempt to join them in Valhalla the only way his feeble, angst ridden mind can conjure up. As his trembling hands arrange for his otherworldly reunion, his mind focuses on what could have been had he only double checked the backup battery in his alarm clock. According to chaos theory a change as trivial as one extra person on an airplane could change the entire course of events leading up to this macabre finale. Perhaps by being on time and being on that plane his additional body weight and that of his bags could have been sufficient to alter the physics of that fateful landing just enough that passengers instead merely experience a near miss with that American supplied relic of the Russian-Afghan war. Even if that CIA trained insurgents missile had not missed and his aim remained true in spite of the powerful influence of chaos, perhaps that same soldier could have at least died
Having to outline accountability profiles can help management decide whether or not it is necessary to fill a post, and if so in what form and what level. On the other hand, vague and flexible accounts of what is needed in a job may only bring about trouble if there are subsequent concerns about performance and whether or not an employee is doing what is expected of them (Haque Talukder, 2014). This paper examines a recent grievance claim by Mr. Gregory Williams against his organization, Comfort Assisted Living concerning a job vacancy advertisement found on Monster.com.
Once the plane had crashed, the people still alive questioned why God would do something like that to his faithful followers. Soon, however,
An American Airline, Boeing 767, had been hijacked and was loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel. Boeing 767 was crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact of the crash had left a wide open, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skycraper. The crash of the Boeling 767 had instantly killed over hundreds of people, and left hundreds more people trapped up in the higher levels of the skyscraper. Firefighters and other rescuers had started to evacuate the people left in the World Trade Center. Leaving numerous people confused, startled, and petrified about the hijacked plane and the accident, many people had not known that it had only been the start of the day.
NCLB opposition state that test by the state are made easier. But schools are taking necessary measures so achievement appears higher than it actually is (Wright, 1999). Teacher and parents express discomfort regarding standardization progress. Many states were invited to request flexibility in relation to No Child Left behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) in exchange for rigorous and comprehensive State-developed plans (ed.gov). Though, it is created for the improvement of every student educational outcome while closing achievement gaps, increasing equity and instruction quality (ed.gov). However, State of Maryland took advantage of the flexibility under the pilot program known as Differentiated Accountability while helping low performing schools through
Unfortunately, crashes and crises aren’t a new things in today 's world. Far too often we have car crashes, boats sinking, car explosions, or bus crashes. Not too often do you hear about plane crashes, however, when you do it is fatal. One truly amazing plane crash involved two amazing pilots, birds, and one miracle landing on the Hudson.
Just then the plane takes a nose dive, one the men quickly goes to check on the pilots, when he didn’t respond, well we started jumping. We were trained to avoid turret fire and mortar shells but we weren’t told about the real horrors of war, as I looked down I could see the plane just as it crashed, into another plane. At first I thought I could hear the screams of the men who went down, who we left in our plane only to crash, but it couldn’t have been that the mortar shells had already made me deaf. When I look to my left all I see is chutes and planes and then I spot him, my wingman, Jimmy Wrangler. We were lucky enough to be deployed from the same plane, but when our plane went down I didn’t have enough time to see if he made it. It was the best thing I saw all day, I almost shed tears I was so
Accountability a word that is most often used and has several meanings, to give an example is responsibility, blameworthiness, liability and other terms. Accountability can be used in many places such as work, home and even on a battle field, it can also be used for little things for instance taking a piece of paper from one destination to another; you are responsible for that piece of paper its condition and whether or not it gets to its destination. Or big things such as taking personnel from one destination or another, because you are responsible for there safety and ensuring you have everyone that is traveling with you from start to finish means you are responsible for there welfare.
The plane started to shake and it started to roll. It fell to the ground and I blacked out. When I woke up some of the survivors were huddled in a lump. The media director was lying in a pool of crimson blood along with Senator Recken. I tried to get up, but I couldn't, my legs wouldn't move. The health administrator got up a looked at my leg. A piece of the plane had flown into my leg. He removed the metal and bandaged my leg. He helped me up and I started to limp. Everyone thought my leg wouldn't make it. We made a fire with the emergency kit and we huddled up next to it.
Patterson et al. (2013) describe a number of circumstances from their research, where they us a disconnect, between how people would address an individual who fails to meet expectations or live up to perceived norms of conduct, versus the reality of how they actually respond to similar circumstances in real life. While many of the examples utilized in the introduction of their book are products of designed social experimentation, I believe that Patterson et al (2013), point to an ongoing problem which renders leaders ineffective in the long run. This problem is the failure to hold people accountable and to address deviations from expected norms in the moment, rather than waiting for an issue to blow up.
Looking to the future of assessment is a quite interesting topic to learn about. Accountability seems to be at the core of every discussion that pertains to the future of assessment. Increased accountability in higher education is going to have become more accountable in order to meet the demands of the U.S Congress, state legislatures, local legislative bodies, and other funding agencies. In order to determine if the allocated funds are being used effectively as well as whether the program intact is producing the desired outcomes. Therefore, there is going to be greater use of data in decision-making rather than being based on opinion. Numbers are going to become even more important when advocating for program funds. A greater demand for transparency
Why it is my stongest is because it reminds me tthat my success is in my hand. I am responsible and accountable to every decision I make. The purpose of the instructor is to lead and directs me because I cannot get there on my own. I enrolled at Grand Canyon University tobe a BSN, I have to put in my best, respond and account for whatever the instrutor is giving to me for him to be able to help me effectively. For example, a patient could see the Doctor and a diagnosis of hypertention is made, medications giving to take home. The Responsibility and accountability now falls on the patient to take the medications as ordered to get well.
Flight 457 heading to England from Boston went down on January 22, 2005. There were no survivors, or so they thought so until one man emerged from the wrecked site of the Boeing 747. He only had a few things with him, a will to survive, and basic survival knowledge.
People are different in their belief system based on their background, environment and social status. Not all people are the same and because personal values differ some people can and will mistreat others. Most of the time people are consumed by greed, lust and misguided by lies and think what they do is the right thing at the time; often they are guilt free as a result of losing personal accountability. It is a personal belief that karma will take over in the end and hold each person accountable for their wrong doings and it does not care about the persons background, status or
My stomach dropped as the alarm sounded. I could see the same foreboding faces of my fellow EMTs as we darted to the ambulance. Was it a bomb? An active shooter? A riot? A muffled electronic voice came on over the radio. Though the cutting signal and ringing siren I could only make out one word: airstrike. A chill swept over the crew as we lurched to a stop. We bounded over the rubble, trying to find the entrance through the thick opaque air. I took the left side, attempting to listen for signs of life, but Death seemed to be the only inhabitant. “Mommy? Is that you?”, whimpered a faint voice. I stopped. There was a small boy quivering in the dark, covered in soot and blood that I prayed wasn’t his own. I thrusted him onto my shoulder but did not answer – I knew his mother was most likely dead. I cared him to safety and sat him down in the orange ambulance chair. His petrified eyes stared into the dust cloud as
Flight 697. Over the Sahara Desert. Timmy was on his way to great things. He was merely in his twenties, and he was about to live out his life at the Pyramids of Giza. Overcome with joy, he couldn’t wait to live out his dream, until he started to feel hot. He smelled smoke and soon saw smoke come out of the ceiling. It didn’t take long before a siren started to go off. “Attention people on board,” said the pilot, “There is a plane malfunction, please stay calm.” The ground started to shake beneath them. At this point, how could anyone stay calm? He looked out the window only to see the sandy ground growing in size. Everything after that was just a blur. A flash of light. Orange, red, yellow flames. That feeling when he was falling. Faster and
