How does the government ensure that our laws stay up to date?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Federal government agencies issue thousands of rules every year. Congress enacts hundreds of laws annually. New regulations sometimes replace existing ones and sometimes they add more layers of complexity. If your business is required to follow these regulations it can seem overwhelming keeping up with all the requirements.

Penalties for not meeting industry requirements can be steep. For example, violations of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) rules surrounding protected health information result in penalties of $100 to $50,000 per breach, with a potential maximum penalty of $6 million per year.

Penalties of up to $1 million can be levied for violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). Thousands of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) fines are issued in workplaces across the country, in amounts of a few hundred dollars to more than $1 million, depending on the severity and nature of the violation.

Given the extensive amount of rules, your business needs to comply with, staying up-to-date on regulations is crucial. Knowing the new requirements also can be challenging. Here are a few suggested methods for staying on top of the changing requirements and keeping your company compliant.

Regularly check sites for updated standards

Make it a habit to regularly visit websites that post updated standards for your industry. The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare (CMS), Department of Labor and OSHA sites offer many resources and provide regularly updated information on standards.

Join industry associations

Become a member of trade groups and associations connected with your industry. These organizations alert their membership to significant changes relevant to your business, and they usually can serve as a resource when you have questions.

Attend trainings, conferences, and seminars

Whether online or in person, attend regulatory training sessions and seminars as well as participate in conferences. You’ll expand your knowledge, learn new standards, get best practices for implementing the standards, and connect with industry peers.

Designate a compliance officer

Consider appointing a designated person to handle your business’ compliance matters. At the least, designate a staff person tasked with regularly checking for updates to relevant regulations.

Use software solutions

Implement policy management software or Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) software that helps automate policy-related processes. Software can help centralize your company’s compliance information, making it easier to track. Software vendors also will update you on relevant regulatory changes.

Subscribe to newsletters

Sign up for mailing lists and newsletters issued by law firms, legislators, regulatory agencies, trade organizations, and other industry-specific groups. Don’t forget to actually read those newsletters so you get alerted to changes in standards.

Outsource with experts

Partner with a reputable vendor who can provide expertise and up-to-date knowledge in a specific area of compliance. For example, outsource some HIPAA-related tasks to a company that will review your infrastructure and policies for compliance. Conducting an audit of your current practices can help identify areas of weakness in terms of compliance.

No matter the methods you choose to follow, it is essential that you find ways to remain current on compliance requirements. Failure to keep up-to-date can cost your company in fines, penalties, and other serious consequences.

1. What do the graphs show? How do you know?

2. How many white people lived in New England in 1700? How many black people lived in the Chesapeake Colonies in 1740?

3. Which populations increased and decreased in the time periods shown?

4. What other conclusions can you draw from the graphs?

Answers

Answer: The first one shows the population of the New England Colonies through 1620 and 1770. White increased a lot, black stayed the same for a while and then went up a TINY bit, Native American decreased. The second graph shows the population of the Chesapeake though 1610 and 1750. White and black both went up but white went up more. Native Americans went down. From these graphs, I can determine that white and black increased through 1620 and 1770. Native Americans decreased.

Explanation:

1. The graphs show the Population in the New England and Chesapeake Colonies. I know this because of the information graph gives.

2. About 80,000 white people lived in New England in 1700 and about 80,000 black people lived in the Chesapeake Colonies in 1740.

3. White and black populations increased and the Native American population decreased in the time periods.

4. One conclusion I can draw from the graphs is in each graph it shows the Native American population declining as the white population progressed. I came to the conclusion that the development of the white population is damaging for the native Americans.

Brothers, we must be one as the English are, or we shall soon all be destroyed. You know our fathers had plenty of deer and skins, and our plains were full of deer and turkeys, and our coves and rivers were full of fish. But, brothers, since these English have seized upon our country, they cut down the grass with scythes, and the trees with axes. Their cows and horses eat up the grass, and their hogs spoil our beds of clams; and finally we shall starve to death! Therefore, stand not in your own light, I beseech you, but resolve with us to act like men. All the sachems both to the east and west have joined with us, and we are all resolved to fall upon them, at a day appointed, and therefore I have come secretly to you, because you can persuade the Indians to do what you will. Brothers, I will send over fifty Indians to Manisses, and thirty to you from thence, and take a hundred of Southampton Indians, with a hundred of your own here. And, when you see the three fires that will be made at the end of forty days hence, in a clear night, then act as we act, and the next day fall on and kill men, women and children, but no cows; they must [not] be killed as we need them for provisions, till the deer come again.

Summary about the whole paragraph:  Miantonomo's speech was that he wanted to get revenge for what the English did so he came together with his people and made a plan on what they were gonna do, and the plan was that he was gonna send people. So, when they were sent there they were told that when they saw three fires it was a 'signal' that the next day fall they would have to kill the men, women, and children. But, they had to keep the cows for provisions.

3. Describe the origins of the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor (AFL), and their accomplishments.

4. Why was the AFL more successful than the Knights of Labor?

Answers

Answer:

1.  In 1909, Taylor published The Principles of Scientific Management. In this book, he suggested that productivity would increase if jobs were optimized and simplified. He also proposed matching a worker to a particular job that suited the person's skill level and then training the worker to do that job in a specific way.

2.  Mary Harris "Mother" Jones rose to prominence as a fiery orator and fearless organizer for the Mine Workers during the first two decades of the 20th century. Her voice had great carrying power. Her energy and passion inspired men half her age into action and compelled their wives and daughters to join in the struggle.

3. The Knights organized unskilled and skilled workers, campaigned for an eight hour workday, and aspired to form a cooperative society in which laborers owned the industries in which they worked. By 1886 the American Federation of Labor (AFL), an alliance of skilled workers' trade unions, was growing.

4.  The AFL focused on goals such as better wages, hours and working conditions. Which of the following was a nineteenth century example of a trade union.
