Make a comparison (advantages and disadvantage) between in-house and cloud ERP systems:
Asgn6 – ERP Report
You are employed as an IT professional at a firm that has about 150 employees in 5 departments:
production/inventory, marketing, finance/accounting, HR, and IT. Until now, each department uses its
computer applications and databases; and all are connected to each other through another connection
layer.
Give the problems and costly maintenance of this arrangement, the firm wants to remove all these
systems and use a single ERP system to integrate all of the firms processes and operations and be used
by all employees and departments in the business. Management has asked you to prepare a report to
address this issue. First management wants to know which is better an in-house ERP or a cloud-based
ERP and second management want to know which the most appropriate system is to use I each
category.
Prepare a report to address the following:

How do values, virtues, and character relate to one another? Our morals/virtues and values tend to shape our character and who we are. What we value in life and the moral standards in which we were raised determines what we think is the right and wrong thing to do. Character, how we act and present ourselves is based upon what we believe is right and wrong. How can we specifically encourage virtue in our communities, workplaces, and educational institutions?
How do values, virtues, and character relate to one another? Our morals/virtues and values tend to shape our character and who we are. What we value in life and the moral standards in which we were raised determines what we think is the right and wrong thing to do. Character, how we act and present ourselves is based upon what we believe is right and wrong. How can we specifically encourage virtue in our communities, workplaces, and educational institutions? The best way to encourage virtue in our communities, workplaces, and educational institutions is by leading by example. With the popularity of social media, little of what we do in public is solely visible by those around us, but rather the whole world. If we are acting the fool out in public, that is going to be captured, uploaded, and viewed thousands if not millions of times. Judgment to your character and how you were raised, as well as your virtues are going to be quickly judged. If we lead by example, doing the right things, presenting ourselves in the best ways possible, while not as quick to be uploaded, it does show those around us how we should treat each other/behave. Especially in the school settingkids need to have positive influences and examples in their lives. Not all students have this at home, so they dont really know what is socially acceptable, right/wrong, or the best action to take. Its the educational systems job to pick up where parents are lacking at times. Its unfortunate, but reality. What are the advantages of leading a moral life? There are several different advantages to leading a moral life. Those led by faith, whatever it might be, would believe that this would be to get them into heaven, or favor of God. While that does push me to live a moral life, there is a stronger force at play. Wanting everyone to have a positive experience when they enter my life is what drives me to do the right thing. In different settings and situations, doing the right thing will feel like the wrong thing to those with differing ideas of what is right. For example, suspending a student because they made a racial slur. I know that is wrong, and that all students deserve to belong, however, someone with a different background, who was raised to believe that is right views me as immoral or wrong. Does this mean I change the way I work with racial slurs, no. Does this mean my morals change, no. While that may create a negative interaction, its my hope that down the line, some positive can come from iteven if its just that I remained calm and fair. How can we support people in cultivating their virtues? The best way to support people in cultivating their virtues would be to be present when needed and offer advice when asked. Its important to allow them to go through what they need to, but to be there as a safety net when they ask for it. Pushing your virtues onto them while they are trying to grow/figure it out is the quickest way to lose trust and faith 3 3.3 Assignment: Leader2Leader Dialogue Question Preparation with those people. Its a vulnerable place, and support is being there when needed, but not forcing your way in when not. How do our characters change as time goes on? Experiences change our character as time goes on. The person I was in my 20s is not the person I am today. The person I was before losing my mom is not the person I am today. My values changed, thus my character changed. Some people, when going through hard times, can become jaded or shut down from the world around them. When I lost my mom I definitely went through a major change in character. It took me over a year to find myself again. Things I used to value were no longer important and others grew in importance. Interactions with those around us, both positive and negative can change your character. Wanting to be more or less like someone can change things within yourself. How do our personalities affect the decisions we make? Our personalities definitely affect the decisions we make. Im a naturally calm personI wasnt always. As an AP, I have to make a ton of split second decisions on a daily basis. My calm personality tends to see the world differently than the two bosses Ive had while in this role. Both, while very different, tend to make knee jerk decisions because they are more reactionary than calm, and this often causes us to disagree in moments. Our personalities, pet peeves, loves/dislikes, all affect how we make decisions. In the lunchroom, noise does not bother me, but it does my boss. He tends to make decisions in the lunchroom because hes irritated by the noise. I am able to ignore the little things because the noise doesnt bother me. What distinguishes personality from character? The biggest distinction between personality and character would be that your personality doesn’t change. Its not shaped by what you believe, its who you are. Character is shaped by what you believe, and how you approach life. Personality is that no matter what you do, youre that person. No matter what I do, Im always going to be a calm person. Its just who I am. Ive never been one to blow up in a roomit takes A LOT to get me there. However, my character has been shaped by things Ive gone through. What obstacles must we overcome in order to lead moral lives? The biggest obstacle we must overcome in order to lead moral lives would be when we are faced with someone who disagrees or holds different morals. I hate making this political, but its the best example I can provide in this moment. Rather than picking a sticky moral debate like abortion, Ill use gun control. I could debate that this is a moral decisionyou either believe we all have the right to own any type of gun or you dont. When your belief is strong on one side of the debate, it makes it very difficult to work with or be around those who disagree. I come from a family where I am alone in a lot of 4 3.3 Assignment: Leader2Leader Dialogue Question Preparation how I view what is right and wrong. My family (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) all tend to lean one way, and I tend to lean the other. This creates some awkward moments when the conversation sways to one of these topics. That doesnt mean I shut out my family and only make friends with those who believe the same things I do. Its important we surround ourselves with differing opinions to either confirm or strengthen our own morals. How can we get past these obstacles? I dont believe we actually need to get past the obstacles but learn and grow from them. Getting past them seems like you just shove through and dont give it another thoughtwhich I feel is a very negative way to go about moral challenges. Its like the racial example I gave earlier. If someone is ok with racial slurs, because thats how they were raised, and they never experienced anything other than their inner circle, they dont know anything different. By challenging our morals, we may learn something different or grow because we faced an obstacle.

Identify the most commonly made mistakes in Gram staining.
Analyze the results of a Gram staining experiment using a light microscope.
About the Gram Stain: Identify and differentiate bacteria Virtual Simulation LabDid you know that there are approximately 5 million-trillion-trillion bacteria in the world? Most of them are harmless, but some can induce disease in an affected host. In this simulation, you will help doctors identify bacteria in a cerebrospinal fluid sample from a patient suspected of suffering from bacterial meningitis.
Explore the bacterial cell wallCompare and contrast the cell wall of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by building your very own bacterial 3D models on the hologram table. Enter the exploration pod to observe in an immersive animation how the four reagents of the Gram stain interact with structural components of the cell wall to color the bacteria.
Perform the gram stainWhen the patients fluid sample arrives at the laboratory, equip yourself with protective gear to prepare a bacterial smear and heat fix it to a glass slide. You are now ready to perform the Gram stain in a safe virtual environment. Made a mistake? No worries, hit the big red button on the workbench to repeat the staining procedure until it becomes second nature.
Interpret your findings using a microscopeIn the end, you will use a light microscope to interpret the results of your Gram stain. View the microscopic image on the computer screen, and apply immersion oil to increase magnification 1000x! Will you be able to identify the presence of any bacteria in the patient´s cerebrospinal fluid?

Consider the first three steps of the Criminal Justice Decision Making Model, and think about the questions associated with each as you prepare to write your paper: Step One: Define the problem (and the questions that need to be answered). Identify and discuss the various programs that have been created to support individuals in the corrections system.
Many individuals in the corrections system have special needs. Some have problems with drug addiction while others have mental illnesses. Various support programs exist, but there are also issues involved with supervision of these individuals.
Consider the first three steps of the Criminal Justice Decision Making Model, and think about the questions associated with each as you prepare to write your paper:
Step One: Define the problem (and the questions that need to be answered). Identify and discuss the various programs that have been created to support individuals in the corrections system.
Step Two: Gather evidence (law, policy, procedure, data) and evaluate for relevancy. Examine the data to determine how many individuals who are imprisoned have a mental illness.
Step Three: Weigh moral considerations and direct/indirect consequences. Were you surprised at the amount of individuals in the corrections system who suffer from some sort of mental illness? Why or why not?
Following Steps Four and Five of the Criminal Justice Decision Making Model, write a three-page essay in which you discuss in detail the supervision of the mentally ill. Why are there so many mentally ill individuals in prison? Do you believe that prisons offer enough programs to help these residents? What else could be done to support this population? While writing, be sure to quote, summarize, and paraphrase correctly, using quotations where necessary. Cite sources in APA format to support your points.
Step Four: Write your proposal, using the above material.
Step Five: Balance your position by addressing alternatives and potential pitfalls.
Discuss how India and China are represented in Ibn Battutas Travels 2) Compare Ibn Battutas account of India with the Wonders of India 3) Compare Ibn Battutas account of China with Marco Polos
Your first essay is due Tuesday, November 21. You must submit the essay via Blackboard as an attachment, an MS Word file or the equivalent, by 11:00 at the latest, but you can submit it earlier if you like. The grading for late submissions will begin at 75, and PDFs will not be accepted.
The representation of a place is one that is constructed. That is, places are not objective realities but spaces already shaped by a particular understanding of the world. Moreover, as Tabish Khair notes, in Other Routes, any account of a place also entails defining, consciously or unconsciously, the writers relationship to a geographical area (4).
In view of that, for the essay, you will discuss how the East is represented or described in either a single account or two accounts. You can choose one of the following topics:
1) Discuss how India and China are represented in Ibn Battutas Travels
2) Compare Ibn Battutas account of India with the Wonders of India
3) Compare Ibn Battutas account of China with Marco Polos
4) Discuss how Siam is represented in Muhammad Rabis Ship of Sulaiman 5) Compare Muhammad Rabis account with the Abbés
* Or you can choose your own topic, but you must get my approval first.
In addressing the issue of representation, please consider the following questions: What sites and sights are recorded and emphasized? Is there a pattern to the way in which they are presented? And how relevant is the motive for travel to the overall tone of the account?
The paper this time should be 5-6 pages in length , double-spaced, and in 12-point font. Emphasis in grading will be placed on the clearness and conciseness of your discussion or comparison, with the appropriate textual support. So please do not just summarize, or give an itinerary of sites visited. If you do so, it will affect your grade negatively. There is also no need for you to refer to secondary readings not assigned for class. If you do intend to refer to additional works, this applies as well to Internet sources, please cite using the MLA Style guide. If it is obvious to me that you used outside sources without citation, your grading will begin at 65. The paper is worth 100 points total and constitutes 25 percent of your overall grade. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to speak with me.
