Practice 7.3
The social role of business has been predominated by the concept of corporate citizenship, which currently has several notions.
Corporate citizenship has two conventional views:
Limited view – corporate citizenship is “strategic philanthropy;” undertaking ethical, economic and legal responsibilities are done with self-interests in mind
Equivalent view – corporate citizenship is “corporate social responsibility;” undertaking ethical, economic and legal responsibilities are not presupposed with self-interests

On the other hand, the English media are observed to examine Quebec politics in a domestic context, while focusing on the English-speaking minority present in Quebec.

In Bettig and Hall’s article “Ad Creep: The Commercialization of Culture,” the authors discuss the phenomenon of “ad creep,” which is described as “the gradual expansion of advertising into nontraditional spaces such as public playgrounds, school buses, sidewalks, and beaches” (193). In essence, as advertisements become more and more recognizable and rejected by the public, marketers and advertisers must find new ways to incorporate their advertisements into everyday life.

Considering human rights as an issue without culture, diversity, and without complicated frameworks means it is about what it implies – "human" rights. In reality, the question arises why Western ideology of feminism exhibit so many gaps when it comes to the female of the human species.

The analysis of the relationship between a state and a country is an essential component to understanding the nature of human security with respect to international relations. The evaluation also assists in contrasting views between state-centric and traditional mechanisms of national security. The traditional approach is a referent of the ability of a nation to protect itself from external threats. Therefore, interests involving sub-national groups and individuals are subordinate to those of the state. National interests help in affirming the “other” as a significant element of understanding the self and foreign aspects. David Campbell in his article Writing Security: ...

Food safety issues pose important questions concerning risk management, as those constitute a major public concern on health and safety in food consumption. Understanding how risk management experts confront food safety issues requires a deeper understanding of the underlying literature, given the controversy arising from mismatching perceptions between consumers and experts. Such a discrepancy serves as an important point for clarifying the conduct of risk management on food safety issues, hence my choice of the article by Krystallis et al. (2007) entitled: A Perceptual Divide? Consumer and Expert Attitudes to Food Risk Management in ...

Judicial independence has been argued to be an abstract that can never be achieved. Legal jurists claim that the judiciary can never be independent of control of the executive, or the legislature provided that the justices are appointed by the politicians. The view is held across the judicial and political spectrum. As a consequence, twenty-one states in the United States of America have opted to elected justices of the Supreme Court. The election of the justices of the Supreme Court is can be contracted to the appointive system where the judges were appointed by the governor in the individual states. ...

Businesses are faced with a need to navigate around a myriad of legal issues on a daily basis. Business activities in all classes risk going overboard into the wrong side of law if care is not taken to avoid this. Activities such as procurement, hiring, firing are all guided by strict regulation, which inhibits the business proprietor from acting in whichever manner despite their establishments being private. The need to establishment of law regulating the conduct of business is the need to protect third parties interacting with the business enterprise and shielding them from inappropriate engagement with the business.

It also explains why it is difficult to gradually bring these governmental powers into the hands of an institution or an individual.From the federalist#51, there exist two features of the Constitution's plan which guarantee separation of powers and the maintenance ...

This article focuses on the changing trends in the spending culture by the youth. Youth which was once a car generation has now ditched this culture. They are perhaps ready to lighten their pockets for Smartphones instead. Housing is another sector where a typical family’s spending goes. The Great Recession is one of the main reasons for the youth changing their spending interests, along with the parameters of changing lifestyles, high fuel prices, stagnant wages and newer technologies. I believe that this is true, owing to changing lifestyles and rising prices (Thompson and Weissmann, 2012) The “sharing economy” is the ...

The congress passed a legislation that allows the “Federal Aviation Administration” to make independent cuts of its expenditure, unlike in the past. The congress points out that there has been wasteful spending in the aviation especially the Transportation Security Administration.

Theory is the starting point:
In this part, the author addresses analysts who will quickly be overwhelmed by the amount of data available about customers’ preferences. Relatively, random data analytics will not lead to any improvement of certain services if it was not theory-based. Theory provides a clear strategic pathway to follow on data analytics in order to come out with new feasible trends that attract new customers, and work on improving certain provided services. However, to widen the circle of target customers, there should be a clear hypothesis to start with about customers’ ...

The clash of civilizations is an interesting article that attempts to change the conventional way of interpreting and discussing issues in International Relations. The author, Samuel Huntington, is of the opinion that the traditional approach to international relations no longer holds water and has been proved wrong and inadequate by the test of time.

Alexis de Tocqueville had seen the various attempts his country of France had failed in putting in place a democratic government. He thus became curious and wanted to study the existent prosperous, democratic governments of the time and know their operations. The results of his studies made him conclude that although the move towards democracy had gained much ground in America, it was a global trend that would slowly become a permanent phenomenon that could not be interfered with. This is what Craiutu and Jennings concluded as being the motivation for his tour to America.

The theory of sustainable development is perhaps the most equivocal factor that has dominated many debates in addition to generating equally varied interpretations from environmentalists. Sustainable development places significant importance on the maintenance of natural resources. For this reason, several values often emerge when defining or during the inclusion of natural resources. Resources come in different types that can be categorized as renewable and non-renewable. While resources are useful for the survival of humans both in supporting life and in meeting people’s needs, the satisfaction of human needs and scarcity of resources has led to several resistances.

The relationship between leadership, trustworthiness and ethical stewardship is examined in Caldwell et al.'s (2010) "Leadership, Trustworthiness and Ethical Stewardship."

Leon Prather’s article “We have taken a city” is an essay about a race riot, which took place in Wilmington, North Carolina.

They intended to elect candidates who represented the entire African-American race. The Republicans mainly comprised of the African-American race. This move was a serious threat to the status quo that seemed to exist at that time and created a lot of fear among the conservatives. Therefore, the conservatives ...
