Global Warming and the Climate change...

Global warming is one of the most dangerous challenges that all of humanity has ever faced. Its multiple effects will cause disruptions in everything from natural habitat to drinking water and food supply. And even more dangerously, it will give birth to some of the most powerful natural disasters ever known to mankind.

And it is also know that Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

The climate is changing. The earth is warming up, and there is now overwhelming scientific consensus that it is happening, and human-induced. With global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing.

Many are agreed that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions, and/or increasing extremities in weather patterns.

Conflicts of interest at work

“A man with one watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never quite sure” - Lee Segall

According to Alan L. Sklover, 2009; It is said that Conflicts of interest – actual or perceived – can cause great harm to your career, your finances, and your reputation. It is not a remote possibility that a conflict of interest may somehow come into your work life; in truth, it is an inevitability that, sooner or later, you will find yourself faced with a conflict of interest at work that could cause you great harm. Considerable care and attention needs to be given to avoiding conflicts of interest, and to addressing them should they nonetheless arise.

The one real key to avoiding the serious damage that a conflict of interest at work could cause you is developing and maintaining a healthy “sensitivity” to the potential problem. In this context, a healthy “sensitivity” means (a) understanding the concept of conflict of interest, (b) being able to spot a conflict of interest in your midst, and (c) knowing how to remove or diminish the dangers a conflict of interest represent.

Why Human Resources? What is it

According to some research studies, it is said that Human resources is an increasingly broadening term with which an organization, or other human system describes the combination of traditionally administrative personnel functions with acquisition and application of skills, knowledge and experience, Employee Relations and resource planning at various levels. The field draws upon concepts developed in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and System Theory. Human resources has at least two related interpretations depending on context. The original usage derives from political economy and economics, where it was traditionally called labor, one of four factors of production although this perspective is changing as a function of new and ongoing research into more strategic approaches at national levels.[1] This first usage is used more in terms of 'human resources development', and can go beyond just organizations to the level of nations [2]. The more traditional usage within corporations and businesses refers to the individuals within a firm or agency, and to the portion of the organization that deals with hiring, firing, training, and other personnel issues, typically referred to as `human resources management'.
