International Legal and Ethical Issues in Business

Abstract

For an agreement to be considered a valid contract, it should have four vital elements that include an offer, acceptance, intention to be under legal consequences, and consideration. If any of the mentioned terms are missing from the contract, it is not legally binding. Objective theory of contracts is a legal notion that rejects the enforcement of thelaw that appears to be too good to be true. The contract, according to this theory, is binding only if a reasonable person from outside will judge objectively that the offer has been made, and it has been accepted.

Annette and Hannah in their article examine depression and social anxiety as different aspects of internal ...

Gabrielle Carlson’s “Early Onset Bipolar Disorder” (2005) article explains the certainty in diagnosing prepubertal children as a delicate matter. As an accurate diagnosis turns childhood into a minefield, a misdiagnosis belittles the complexities of children. Applying science and rooting characteristics out of a child is burdened with flukes. There is more arguing about a child not having a disorder than there is in accepting how an undeveloped youth can be diagnosed.

A prepubertal child should not be diagnosed with a bipolar disorder because he may grow out of it. It’s a flippant excuse but also the most natural decision to take. The behavior is ...

In the most unlikely places are literary themes that are eerily similar. Such is the case for “The Ballad of Reading Gaol,” In Cold Blood, and “The Crucible,” a poem by Oscar Wilde, a novel by Truman Capote, and a play by Arthur Miller, respectively. Although each of these pieces of literature deal with different time periods and different experiences, each discusses the darkness inside the human soul, the piercing reality of very banal, human evil that burns inside most people. While Capote’s characters chase the ghost of a murderer around a complex, interwoven plot, Miller’s characters fight against a corrupt, hysterical system ...

Virtues are inherent among people. Virtues are positive qualities possessed by every individual and that which makes the person morally upright.

Recent years have seen American public schools experience an influx of students from all cultural heritages and social background. Diversity in the public education system is at the highest level. A modern-day classroom is comprised of students belonging to different social group defined by ethnicity religion, gender sexual orientation and so on. This increased diversity has prompted many schools to re-adjust their structure and functioning in order to accommodate each every culture and therefore affirm diversity. Affirming diversity means rejecting bigotry and stereotypes based on race, gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, ability, lifestyle, and religion (Nieto, 1992). It means ...

Patients receiving acute care typically go through different levels of care encountering numerous health care providers in the process. For example, a stroke patient who undergoes cranial surgery will be admitted into the PACU. Once stable, he is admitted into the medical-surgical unit and then discharged into long-term rehabilitation. Prior to being sent home, he is advised to see his primary care physician for follow-ups. Throughout the many transitions in each health care experience, handoffs occur between health care professionals working in each unit during changes in shift.

Love in itself is a form of emotion. However, Plato showed in his symposium, that love, among all affections, is powerful. The type of love noted as ‘eros’ tries to show an understanding of how humans develop a sense of love for another. The confusing matter in this case is how eros was used ...

Technological platforms should be systems created with accurate systems well defined to perform given tasks.

Scientists define the abnormal behavior as the that which deviates against the culture of the society that people ...

Type 1 and Type II Errors

The fundamental goal of research aims at testing the truthfulness of the null hypothesis. However, type 1 and type 2 errors may result from the process of testing the hypothesis. These errors negate the results of the study, consequently; this means that the results do not reflect the true condition. Type 1 error results from rejecting a true null hypothesis, while type 2 error results when a false-null hypothesis is accepted. For example, supposing that the research hypothesis is that drug A improves brain capacity for schizophrenia patients above 60 years. If a study is conducted to establish whether drug A is ...

Environmental factors that influence human growth and development in Childhood are divided into two broad categories. They are intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic has to do with elements related to the internal physical activities such as functioning of the organs and systems.

Insider action research faces several challenges associated with the political dynamics of the researcher being a member of the system/community/organization he is researching. The political dynamics, if not well managed, have the potential to undermine the research endeavors and impede the planned change (Coghlan, 2007). The main challenge is the challenge of the validity of the data because the inside researcher is suspected to be biased, emotionally attached to the system/organization under study and thus what constitutes valid data is intensely contested and politicized. Other challenges include gaining access to data, using data, publishing and disseminating the results. In addition, ...
