Employee Turnover Corporate Culture
1,102 words
In 1999 employee turnover shot to its highest
level in nearly two decades. On average, 1. 2 % of
the workforce left their jobs each month last
year. This did not include departures due to
layoffs, downsizing, or departures of temporary
staff. Job turnover is soaring for a few reasons.
One is definitely the strength of the economy. If
companies need to find workers they can raise
salaries, which increases the likelihood that
someone will leave a job for one that pays more.
Another reason is the l...

War On Drugs Violent Crime
1,673 words
Introduction One point on which almost everyone
interested in drug prohibition agrees is the
existence of a connection between drugs and
violent crime. The disagreement is on the form of
the connection and the sign of the correlation.
Supporters of drug prohibition typically argue
that drug use leads to violent crime and should be
illegal in part for that reason. Critics of the
war on drugs argue that the attempt to prohibit
drug use leads to violent crime and that that is
one of the reasons dru...

Blacks And Whites Racial Inequality
2,772 words
Conley Paper Social scientists and progressive
policy pundits have long recognized that white
Americans enjoy an even larger advantage over
African-Americans in wealth than they do in
income. Conley, however, goes beyond this common
understanding to demonstrate that the white wealth
advantage is growing, not shrinking; that wealth
inequality, more than income inequality,
determines African Americans' life chances; and
that without radical wealth policy reform there is
little reason to expect the...

Gun Control One of the biggest issues in the
United States today seems to be gun control. The
government is constantly proposing legislation for
more and more gun control. Slowly they are
chipping away at our constitutional right to keep
and bear arms. You must ask yourself: For what
reason does the government want to restrict law
abiding citizens from owning guns? Certainly
government is not so naive to think criminals will
adhere to gun control laws. There just may be an
underlying motive for ...

means anyway, making laws to restrict the purchase
of said guns ineffective at keeping firearms out
of criminals hands. Evidence also supports the
