Impact of Contraband, Bootlegging and Peddling on Inner City Small Business Success: A Millennial’s Perspective

Abstract Inner cities were the business hub for a long period of time. However, in the last 30 years, many large and small businesses have closed down their shops and moved out of inner cities to more affluent city suburbs.

There are many reasons attributing to the problem. Contraband, bootlegging and peddling definitely have forced some of the small business owners to shut down their business. They are unable to ...

Historically, mixed economies emerge gradually in many countries including China. China’s mixed economy is widely characterized by the coexistence of market systems such as the private sector and the government-planned system (Naughton, 2006). The traditional planned economy in China is limited to the state-owned enterprises that are currently in a reform mode. Detang Corporation is a state-owned corporation that operates directly under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC). The government plays a crucial and important role in minimizing the competition it faces by securing markets for the company, thereby helping it to achieve a monopoly. As ...

It is no secret that the media has always affected people in innumerable ways. It is also very interesting to note that this power enters the consumer’s psyche without him/her being aware of it. In this regard, advertising has a profound and lasting influence on the consumers.

I will analyze selected advertisements for this purpose and how they transmit messages in relation to gender, sometimes in subtle ways and sometimes in very direct and ...

The specific advertisement contains the following message: “Before you scold me Mom maybe you’d better light up a Marlboro” . The focal point is a photograph of a male baby, wearing a hat (supposedly his mother’s hat since it contains fragments of a ribbon), with no shirt on, and his first seems to be imploring. The photo just captured the face up to the baby’s bare chest (without showing the nipples). Below the photo of the baby, specifically on the ...

The leading cause of preventable death globally is caused by cigarette smoking (Effects of Aromatherapy on Nicotine Craving, 2013).

The Consumer is the ultimate target of any production process. The welfare of the consumer is as important as the satisfaction they need to derive from goods and services. All companies are not viewed as equal by the consumer for many reasons. First, companies produce different products and the products have different uses for the consumers. Secondly, the products that different companies produce have different effects on the environment and the health of consumers (Trienekens&Zuurbier, 2008). Consequently, companies face different expectations from the public. Enterprises that produce healthy foods and other products that have not adverse effects on the ...

Introduction

Subjective well-being is an individual’s assessment of his or her life. How happy am I? How satisfied am I with my life?

Lifestyle factors are activities and behaviors that an individual chooses to engage in throughout his or her daily life. These are choices that have significant influence on health but little impact on subjective well-being. Choosing to consume a poor diet, refuse exercise, engage in unsafe sex, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, or use illicit drugs are ...

The article “The FDA Should Have the Authority to Regulate Tobacco Products” provides the arguments that support the idea of tighter control of the tobacco industry. According to the text, the tobacco industry misleads the customers and often targets the children. Therefore, the FDA should have the authority over the tobacco industry.

Nevertheless, the FDA will not be able to make “the tragic toll of tobacco use disappear overnight” (Kennedy, 2007).

Approximately 40 million people are addicted to smoking in the USA, and the FDA can influence the change. The FDA will focus on regulating sales, distribution and advertising of tobacco products. Nowadays, the tobacco industry spends approximately 14 billion dollars a year to advertise cigarettes. As the ...

Amy Winehouse and the Media

Amy Winehouse, a tiny jewish woman, undoubtedly, was a great talent, her music was terrific, and her voice – exceptional.

Some people claim that smoking is a personal choice that adults make and hence whether it affects them or not, it is up to them. Although this is true, smoking has many adverse effects on the smokers, the community, and the government. There is no doubt that cigarettes smoke contains harmful chemicals that affect the body.

Joon Young Jung Electronic cigarettes are amongst many products that are meant to promote a smoker to be able to quit. E-cigarettes are similar to ordinary cigarettes in appearance; however, they lack the tobacco ingredients that compose the traditional cigarettes. The e-cigarettes are made up from a metal tube and a battery-like structure that produces a lot of heat to cause vaporization of liquid nicotine. The propylene glycol fluid contains other chemicals that produce the vapor (smoke) that people inhale or exhale (Kaplan, 2015). While the e-cigarettes may appear to have certain short-term or intangible benefits such as lack ...

The public does not view all industries as equal in the free trade market. I believe it is ethical to consider industries as unequal parties in trade. I base my argument on the fact that some industries produce products that are harmful to the consumers. The harm is caused if there is excessive usage of these products. The tobacco industry is an example of an industry that produces products that are harmful to human beings. Companies in the tobacco industry focus on the production and sale of tobacco cigarettes. There are many people who smoke tobacco cigarettes all over ...

Community health promotion

Introduction The Department Of Public Health in various states has done very little to put up constructive community health programs. The society expects the government (both county and central governments) to take charge of such programs but this has not always been the case. In most cases, county governments have very limited resources and therefore usually prefer to allocate these meager resources in curative programs rather than preventative one.

1. Examine three programs offered by the health department in your area to determine if the programs focus on primary, secondary, or tertiary prevention. Give an example of ...

DISCUSSION

Antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of smoking are known to the smoking population, despite the popular belief that smoking has a positive mood affects. The evidence established in Boden, Fergusson, & Horwood (2010) and other literature that have linked smoking to depression assert that the smoking population may actually be vindicated. Regardless of the direction of the causal relationship; it is still a statistically significant relationship with important practical implications. It is possible that the relationship could even be bidierectional, which effectively marries the research findings from both extremes, with infrequenet or acute smoking leading to a reduction in the negative mood affect, while ...

Rear Window is one of the greatest work of Alfred Hitchcock and an excellent part of his experimental period. It has a very challenging concept - the audience watches almost the entire movie from the main character's rear window and that technique made Hitchcock's Rear Window a legend.

According to Christian Nordqvist of MNT Knowledge Center, electronic cigarettes which are also called e-cigarettes or vaporizer cigarettes are battery-operated devices that mimic the functions of tobacco cigarettes in a sense that they emit vaporized solutions that may or may not contain nicotine.
