International Business Expansion
The emergence of China as the world’s manufacturing hub happened in a much shorter span of time compared to the time it took for U.S or U.K to industrialize.

There have been a host of favorable factors that made China the global manufacturing hub. Some of them include the abundant availability of cheap ...

An Overview

Improvement in student engagement and learning has been directly linked to writing. However, writing-to-learn (WTL) practices have not been applied in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In particular, research universities have not taken steps with regard to this process. The absence of a scientific community that is essential for carrying out and applying the required pedagogical research is one ...

Literature on the effect of environmental stress caused by changes in the climate is more relevant today than it has been before, especially in the context of global warming (Beniston 2010).

Reading the two articles offers an understanding of how the two variables are interrelated and the effect that they have on living organisms. The manner in which the arguments are constructed presents with various positives and negatives. This critique will highlight the positives and negatives with the help of literature from other scholars.

Sustaining Process Involvement

There are five principal requirements of maintaining the process advancements according to Studer's article. Some of these have different extents of application in the health care fields hence making three of the requirements more essential than the other two. Health organisations invest on a large scale towards fulfilling process developments. Since the health care demands better and quality care, they go ahead to invest on the improvement initiatives to enable them to regulate service costs. Accordingly, the need to apply the development initiatives emanates from the urge to transform the clinical setup, improve on performance, and rationalization. This paper ...

Introduction

Recently, the role of a managerial accountant is widely discussed in the scholars. Johnson and Kaplan (1991) argue that management accounting is “too late, too aggregated, and too distorted to be relevant for managers’ planning and control decisions” (1). Haedr (2012) considered the mediation effect of management accounting information on motivation using contingency theory stating that “MAI usefulness accounts for a full (i.e. complete) mediation effect only on the relationship between centralization and MCS effectiveness.” (n.p.). As the number of views cannot present a unified opinion on the matter, the purpose of the current paper to reveal whether the functions of the ...

International relations experience radical changes in how security is conceptualized. Traditional studies of inter-state relations typically define security in military 1 and determinism 2 or fear and conflict 3. However, in light of recent international developments, particularly in a post-Cold War era, non-state actors are increasingly viewed as fundamental in international relations not only between but also within states 4. The case for security is lent further urgency, moreover, due to an increasing privatization of military skills in an international market of corporate warfighting 5. This is not to mention notable gaps in women's roles during war – gaps which highlight ...

Abstract

In the framework of the modern merge between philosophy and economic theory, two opposite theories of socio-economic development of human civilization are of specific interest. The first concept theory is Mill’s perception of the liberalism and its further contribution to formation of free market system. The second one is classical Marx’s theory of socialism, which should save humanity from social stratification and anarchy of the free market. In order to understand the correlation between those two concepts and realize what might be wrong about liberty, Mill’s work “On Liberty” will be analyzed from the perspective of ...

Genetic counselling is defined as the information, guidance, and support provided by a genetic counsellor or medical geneticist to an individual, a couple, or a family about a genetic condition. The information may help the client (affected individual or family) understand how a gene variant underlies an observed phenotype, disease prognosis, and the probability of transmission to progeny.

According to Gulanick and Myers (2013), the nursing process has been identified as the most appropriate strategy which can be employed in trying to ensure that the most suitable care is provided to a particular individual.

Lenn Goodman- ‘Some Moral Minima:’ A Perspective

Challenges to Relativism

Conclusion

Introduction
Relativism is a concept that forges reality advancing assumptions which declare nothing to be absolutely true or valid. This is so because what has been proven true or valid is always based on personal perceptions which may be influenced by various predisposing factors. Often they may be merely subjective sentiments which are not universal since they only represent the view point of a few, the minority, majority or imposition of a dictator (Baghramian, 2004)
When conceptualized within the context of morality it impinges on the framework that ...

Overview: Historically, law enforcement and the community have had a tense relationship. The conflictual nature of the relationship is based on the fact that community members do not think traditional policing is in their best interest. They suggest that community policing model should be the strategy employed to address crime and criminality in the communities of which they are a part. At the same time law enforcement and its police officers believe that its primary role is that of crime control. These differing views have further widened the gap in police community relations as both law enforcement, and community ...

The basic premise behind what cost-benefit analysis, also known as CBA, represents is based on a rejection of ethical evaluations that have been based upon the assumptions of abstract moral principles. In this sense, CBA presents a differentiation from those ethical intentions that are underlined by principles based in logical argumentation, rather than experience based in the real world. Furthermore, these notions present an assumption that there can, indeed, be a morally guided justification that is based in relevant interpretations of those events that have been presented as such.
What sets cost benefit analysis apart from other forms of ethical frameworks ...

The main issue in the Director’s Daughter case is the choice that Zoe Apse, the purchasing manager of Mesa Meals, Inc. (MMI), has to make between Tabitha’s’ Tablecloths and Loretta’s Linens, on who will be their supplier for restaurant tablecloths and linens.

The majority of new nursing graduates (NGs) make their initial transition to professional practice when they step into the hospital environment. This poses many challenges, which include clinical errors, nervousness, demoralization, and difficulty in adapting to the socio-cultural changes (Bowles & Candela, 2005). Duchscher’s Transition Theory (2008) helps students to structure student thinking on their transition from nursing student to professional practitioners such as Registered Nurses (RNs) or Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs). Duchscher (2008) includes three reflection choices in her transition theory. Of the three, I shall focus on reflecting and describing how the transition theory can be used ...

In ancient societies, people believed that the hierarchy of human society was based on the divine right of certain people to lead and the divine permission to keep others as lower class members of society. This shamed the parameters of social order until the Age of Enlightenment and Reformation in the 16th and 17th Centuries. The American and French Revolutions laid the foundation for the creation of a system of civil liberties and human rights which required some basic rights to be accorded to all human beings without exception. Human rights is defined as “a set of freedoms guaranteed ...

The key principles that ensure the ethical framework is observed to protect humans, especially in biomedical research are diverse. Their persons involved in research should provide a legal consent. Further, there is the need to know the nature of experiments conducted. The results sought should be beneficial to the whole society (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2005). Further, caution should be taken to ensure that such an experiment is not fatal or is deemed to cause any injury.
Restriction on medical research tends to be a form of biases. Medical research is often a field that requires intensive ...

Mill vs. Kant on Ethics and Free Markets

Introduction

Philosophy provides a framework for politics and economics. When approaching the subject of free markets, the viewpoints of Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill were divergent. Their philosophical viewpoints flow out of the ethics of deontology and utilitarianism.

The ethics of utilitarianism is built upon the framework of maximizing benefits to all members of society (Shaw 41). John Stuart Mill, a proponent of utilitarianism, propounded the moral corollary that “society ought not to interfere with people’s liberty when their actions affect only themselves (Shaw 19). Therefore, utilitarianism translates to free market economics ...

Exposition of competing positions:

Hard determinism argues that due to the fact that determinism is true, and there can be no choices that result in any specific outcome for the individual, there is no need to engage in moral discourse. The idea that all things are the result of abstract causes that cannot be effected in any way presents the idea that there is no need to assess the consequences of action. This is due to the fact that a person’s nature is primarily determined by their ultimate destiny. The principle of free will does not exist therefore, due to the fact ...
