The Value of Information Systems to Human Resource
Management
[ send
me this paper ]
A 13 page paper discussing the growing importance of human
resources information systems (HRIS). Management of human
resources has expanded far beyond the old recordkeeping
responsibilities. While that is still a critical portion
of HRM, HR has been charged with contributing to the
organization's competitive advantage by planning for
future personnel needs and then training existing workers
to fill future roles. Information systems has contributed
to that evolution of HRM. Information systems enhance the
ability of smaller companies to offer the same HR services
and provide employees with the same level of service
expected in large organizations, while simultaneously
positively contributing to the organization's competitive
advantage as it depends on the organization's workforce.

Humanism's Contribution To The Reformation
[ send
me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the role of humanistic thought
in the Reformation. Many believe "humanism" to
be an arrogance embodied in an attitude that reflects the
1970s attitude of the "IÕm OK, youÕre OK" ilk.
Most of those would be incredulous to learn that humanism,
far from being an arrogance of single human worth, was as
a movement and attitude of believing that humans could be
far more than they had been until the time toward the end
of the Dark Ages. We know today that there are factions
that agree only on few items aside from the basics of
Christianity (i.e., Jesus is GodÕs Son), but todayÕs
Christianity is largely based on the humanism that helped
drive the Reformation more than 400 years ago.

The Ethical Significance Of Human Dignity In Veritatis
Splendor, Judaism And Confucius As Compared With The
United Nations Declaration On Human Rights
[ send
me this paper ]
5 pages in length. As 1998 marks the fiftieth anniversary
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as proclaimed
by the General Assembly of the United Nations, there is
significant question as to whether or not the written
manifesto addresses the issue of human dignity as well as
it was meant to do. Comparing the ethical significance of
such with Veritatis Splendor, Judaism and Confucius, one
can easily conclude that there are considerable
alterations in the overall application of its importance.
The writer discusses how the Declaration, while offering
great promise at its conception and even delivering some
of what was pledged, has failed quite miserably in
recognizing the ethical significance of human dignity
throughout the world when compared with Judaism, Confucius
and Veritatis Splendor. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Management and Human Resources

A 10 page paper discussing the role that Human Resources
can play in developing a knowledge management system

knowledge is gained, and it is people that will be using

Andrew Niccol's "Gattaca": Philosophical
Theme
[ send
me this paper ]
6 pages in length. In humanity's quest to embrace the
concept of Utopia, Niccol's treatment of the human
condition would typically inspire one to envision a world
where people live life in accordance with the rule of
reason; however, the writer's intent was quite the
opposite. Utilizing "Gattaca" as a metaphor for
Utopia – meaning true human happiness – clearly
displays the need for ethical humanism, inasmuch as it is
not difficult to ascertain just how off track society has
gone in its urgent quest to reap materialistic benefits
and gain individual domination. The writer discusses that
as one relates the consequences of a world without moral
fortitude, one can also perceive the manner by which
humanity has overstepped the boundaries that bring
together ethical conscience and humanism. Bibliography
lists 5 sources.

[ send

This 30 page paper considers the notion that societal
defects are traceable to human nature and human nature has
essential flaws and defects within itself. This paper
outlines the premise as it relates to the text of
Golding's Lord of the Flies, especially noting the fact

of the conch and the symbolic use of the pigs head. This
paper defines how Golding assesses the evil in human
nature, and relates Golding's view to the philosophical
and social perspectives of a number of major theorists.
