This has mostly affected female athletes and sports personalities who have been branded a name that they do not necessarily deserve. Due to some of the activities, ...

As a result of development of these airports by these private companies, complications arise which relate to land use, environmental impacts and implications, infrastructural transport and stakeholder relationship. The impacts of airports are a challenge to ...

1. Design an integrated brand development communication programme for Taris that incorporates name, logo, symbols, and colour. If you cannot draw a label, just describe it, like brand name, background colour, other brand elements, etc.

The name of the new Taris brand should communicate both the characteristics of the oil and its health benefits, while being easily understandable for the American users. The name “Green Olive” is both simple and reveals the essence of the product. The word “green” in the name implicitly suggests that the product is both natural and supports a healthy lifestyle. The logo of the brand should ...

The newly developed SASB allowed companies to take into consideration external events (Eccles, 2016) that cannot be controlled such as the effects of climate change. The reason for the accounting standard addition is that governments cannot ignore the effects on industrial markets and their investors (Eccles, 2016). The value of accounting standards is that it allows individuals, companies, and governments to generate wealth since it allows financial performance comparisons (Eccles, 2016). The problem is that there was no previous standard developed for nonfinancial performances (Eccles, 2016) especially on environmental and social activities.

"Race, Employment Discrimination, and State Complicity in Wartime Canada, 1939-1945" offers an in-depth overview of Canada's racial and employment discriminations during the WW II period. The article is authored by Carmela Patrias. She illustrates how employers during the period discriminated against minorities on account of their foreign names, language, religion, and color irrespective of their qualifications and the severe labor shortage experienced at the time (Patrias, 2007).
The classification of the minorities was implicitly aided by the Canadian state through its census. Ultimately, this classification had the effect of allowing Anglo-Canadians to discriminate against the minorities. That occurred despite ...

Summary of the Article

The gay taboo at workplaces is no more in the contemporary corporate America. Most companies are asking their employees if they prefer disclosing their gender identity or sexual orientation. Collecting gay data in companies is not weird presently. The military idea of “don’t ask, don’t tell” which was being followed has since been abolished. In fact, almost half of the biggest businesses in the US are under pressure for being inclusive as they consider being diverse even in their promotions. However, caution needs to be taken especially in states or countries where gay lifestyle is prohibited by ...

The OECD guidelines are meant to guide companies and other enterprises on the way forward while conducting their businesses. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as it is commonly known is defined by the European Commission (2010) as, “a concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis." Davis (1973) states that it not merely enough for companies to have economic concerns but they should go beyond that and better the community around them. Although it is clear that these stipulations are voluntary, and no one firm can ...

In our society, crime is viewed as an act for which the criminal is solely responsible. In our modern justice system, the punishment meted out for criminal acts may correspond to the crime, but there are a number of significant, overlapping societal factors that cause the criminal behavior that results in punishment. The main cause of crime is the environmental background that had a powerful influence on the transition of law-abiding children to young adult offenders. Certainly, growing up in an environment of impoverished circumstances contributes to the high rate of criminal offenses in America. Race is another highly-significant factor that ...

The article title is “Microeconomics: Factors of Consumer Decision-Making” by Marc Davis. The article focuses on the choices consumer make before deciding on buying a product or service.

In addition, economics argue that all factors remaining constant, the price of a product is inversely proportional to its demand. Davis focused on the opportunity cost and elasticity as other factors that influence consumer choice and demand for goods or services. Price changes, and demand for a ...

1. Author Frank F. Furstenberg believes that although America is a society that eschews a separation between classes, there are clear opportunity differences based upon the socioeconomic bracket that a person was born into. Furstenberg feels that this is contrary to the American ideology. But these ideologies do not match the actual reality of the United States. The author writes that “the United States, long regarded as the land of opportunity, has never entirely lived up to its billing” (Furstenberg, 2006).
The differences in classism have been for all of its history a social construction based not always on the reality. The ...

Situations that might lead to unethical practices and behavior in accounting

Opportunity is one aspect that may lead to unethical practice in accounting. Accountants normally encounter or are involved in transactions that have large sums of money changing hands. As such, the constant access to this money may provide the best opportunity for an individual to start siphoning small amounts of money, which cannot be easily recognized since the transactions deal with huge amounts of money. For instance, in transactions that involve billions, an accountant may decide to be siphoning as little as 100 dollars. Increasing financial needs make people to seek opportunities that may lead to unethical practices.

According to Scarr and Richard, the influence of intelligence is due to genetics and environmental variables that are difficult to segregate. Psychologists often argue about the nature and the nurture of genetic variation fixes in the human behavior (Scarr and Richard 262). Some offer that genetic differences are negating to change in behavior. This belief has limitation since it fails to distinguish the environmental and the genetic sources of individual differences in behavior. In this case, one is not in a position to assess the impact of heredity in behavioral domains since all people have a gene complement expressed over development.

Sources of Sadism- Reading Response

This paper on Sadism is a disturbing look into human phycology. There are some aspects of man’s mind that we cannot explain or avoid dwelling into. Inhuman actions and words have long bothered us - be that of a common man or that of a soldier. They bother us because we try making sense of all our actions and wishing that we remain fair, understanding and humane all the time. But that’s not the case always. The American soldiers in Abu Ghraib have demonstrated in very clear terms that there is always a hidden, cruel side of human mind which cannot ...

Based on the story of Sally Helgesen, identify the dominant style of leadership and justify them.

Sally Helgensen uses an authentic style of leadership. This is leadership where stakeholders in an organization are given chances to air their views and are listed at all the times.
