Improving Sustainability: Yum Brands

Business Sustainability is often defined as the process by which an organization manages its financial standing, social risks and opportunities. In short, sustainability is the process through which a company handles its entire business and the influence of its decisions on financial standing, community and the environment. However, in the context of this paper, we believe that this definition is more of a theoretical concept because in a more pragmatic way, sustainability is all about surviving the shocks by sculpting the organizational policies and connecting them to a healthy social, economic and environmental system. Henceforth, in order to discuss ...

Introduction

The behaviorism approach in psychology entails the suggestion that behavior can be studied through scientific research without delving into the inner mental states of the mind (Fridlund, Beck, Goldie & Irons, 2012). It is an approach considered as inclined to materialism such that, it opposes the fact that the mind acts independently. This particular approach to psychology assumes that human or even animal behaviors are heavily influenced by the immediate environment via reinforcement or association. One of the pioneers of this approach to psychology was the Russian psychologist, Ivan Pavlov who carried out extensive studies on classical conditioning (Fridlund, Beck, ...

Since its founding in 1948, Israeli has faced constant threats to its security. In the early year, the most serious threats to Israel’s existence were from other nations such as Egypt, Jordan and Syria.

One of the most serious of these groups is Hezbollah. Hezbollah is a part Islamic fundamentalist group, part Lebanese political party, part terrorist organization. Its beginning can be traced to the Lebanese Civil War between 1975 and ...

For years, government transactions and contracts have been kept from public who may wish to review where their taxes go and how their elected officials act in their behalf.

The books have been the center of much debate as the author has not followed any clearly defined chronological order but rather, the fragments of the testimonies of survivors, victims, and criminals have been included.

Introduction: Ethical Issue

Auditors hold positions of trust in the society. However, over the years, auditors have been accused and, in some occasion, found guilty of failing to live up to these expectations. Therefore, this inability necessitated the enactment of laws that will support both accounting through strengthening firm’s internal controls and procedures and auditing through attestation of these internal controls. As such, this has strengthened the auditors’ position to uphold the social trust. Nonetheless, isolated cases have been observed where auditors have given the organization a clean bill of health yet such organization end up collapsing due to malpractices that ...

“The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin

In Kate Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” the author paints a rather effective picture of heartbreak. However, rather than showing the devastation of Louise Mallard’s devastation upon hearing news of her husband’s accidental death in the train wreck, Chopin takes an unexpected turn. As the reader experiences Louise’s shock at the news of her husband’s death one is led to believe that she is overwhelmed with shock and unable to comprehend the tragedy of becoming a widow. Instead, as the final scene in the story unfolds the reader is made aware ...

Communication

Communication At work, employees frequently encounter certain problems that interfere with convenient conditions. Therefore, they should be able to address the issues with the management to prevent undesired consequences. Moreover, a supervisor can consider the working environment to be convenient and productive. However, the case “In the Vapor” shows that specific management approaches can disturb collaboration. Considering Linda’s situation, it is essential to inform the supervisor about her concerns and offer several suggestions to convince the management. A possible memorandum to Thomas Hale aims to express Linda’s concerns about approaches that cost great efforts (Appendix).

The ethical dilemma is a situation that involves two choices or options both of which will have a negative impact based on the societal and personal guidelines and mainly is involved when one encounters a decision that conflicts based on the outcome of each. In this case, if one makes one of the two choices presented to him or her, the result of any of them usually transgresses the other. According to Martin, the effects of an ethical dilemma are reached through the detrimental process that individuals usually undergo (177). This is not different in any way in the ...

The eighth and ninth Byzantium was one of the most unfortunate in the history of art and architecture. The growth of art and architecture was partially stunted due to the desire to attain political correctness. In that period, political correctness meant following the edicts issued by the emperor. During that time, the emperor issued an edict banning the use of icons. One of the icons that would have drawn a lot of controversy in the eighth and ninth-century Byzantium is the icon of the Virgin and Child Enthroned between Saints and Angels. The Icon is found in the Monastery ...

Qatar Airlines has been cited over the decades as one of the airlines with the strictest rules by International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) and has mentioned that the company is a disgrace to the aviation industry for failing to honor labor rights for its female employees. Some of the controversy issues concerning the airline include its prohibition that the female crew should not get married or pregnant during their first five years of marriage.

Several reasons were tabled by iconoclasts to back their reasons to object to icon worship. The picture provided is of Mary the virgin and supposed Baby Jesus plus angels and saints. This is the type of icon whose use was prohibited by the early church and, therefore, is sure to have gotten opposition in the period of the church. Some of the reasons being the possibility of idolatry and prohibition against images in the Bible, ...

Problem Topic and Thesis

Could gun violence in America be reduced through stricter gun control at the federal level? Gun violence in America has risen to pandemic levels due to lax gun control measures, which makes it relatively easy for otherwise dangerous and questionable individuals to purchase firearms. Although some individual states have passed stricter gun control measures, the lack of uniform federal legislation leaves American citizens more vulnerable to gun violence than other industrialized societies. While opponents to stricter federal legislation cite that it will not reduce the number of public shootings and homicides, one must acknowledge that America has a visible ...

Over the past few years, there has been a significant change in the process of security trading in the capital markets. “Utilizing supercomputers and complex algorithms that pick up on breaking news, company/stock/economic information and price and volume movements, many institutions now make trades in a matter of microseconds, through a practice known as high frequency trading” (McGowan, 2010, p. 1). High frequency trading is one of the major forms of algorithmic trading in the financial markets. Obviously, HFT also has its advantages and strong points as compared to other forms of treading. HFT is characterized by speed and ...

The ethical dilemma that was relayed from the article written by O'Brien (2011) is assuming responsibility and accountability for the advertisements’ evident outcome: children obesity; as well as ingraining incorrect values like offering food, which could indeed be tasty, but unhealthy. Promoters of products directed to children, especially the Happy Meal of McDonalds, allegedly respond by insinuating that it is up to the parents’ responsibility and right to select what food options to provide to their children. As such, there is an ethical dilemma in enforcing restrictions for marketing to children. The food manufacturers (like McDonald’s) aim to ...

Civil Liberties and Social Responsibility

In 2002, as reported by The New York Times, the Bush administration approved a presidential bill giving the National Security Agency (NSA) the power to track, listen to, and intercept without a warrant the local and international communications (e.g. emails, phone calls) of a vast number of American citizens. Sooner or later, the scheme expanded to involve a certain extent of 'internal controls' (ACLU, 2015, para 2), yet there was no mention of mandating warrants specified under the foreign intelligence surveillance laws. This surveillance program has penetrated and invaded almost all of the communications technologies and networks that the ...

FIONA’S DILEMMA

Fiona’s dilemma is not very complicated. She has a clear choice, to have the evaluation mandated by the governor’s commissioners contracted out so that her hands are clean of tough decisions on what programs should be cut, or if she can handle the task she was hired to do under Elinor Ames. Extenuating factors are that nobody is really happy that the governor had made competing campaign promises, both of which, it is assumed, he or she wants to keep with the voters. The governor was probably elected, in part, because of these promises. The programs are ...

GST is one of the most controversial laws in Australia. Despite the fact that this tax is one of the major sources of Australian treasury, many critics contend the idea that it has a regressive nature. To be more specific, they argue that this tax has larger impact on lower income earners, suggesting that in comparison with those, who earn larger incomes, this tax consumes proportionally larger share of income. The proponents of the GST in their turn rebuffed by claiming that in order to furnish adequate reimbursements for these categories of people, the government of Australia introduced a ...

Pit-bulls have had controversy surrounding them for many years. There are some people who think the breed should be eradicated because of the breed being vicious to other dogs and people. There have been numerous cases that have made news headlines about pit-bulls attacking people.

Due to them being raised to attack and kill other dogs, they are difficult to retrain to socialize with other dogs and people and end up either being euthanized or live ...

Introduction

If we can think about one of the most controversial topics that has been mentioned over and over again in the media and in regular discussions, gun control would probably be at the top of the list.

However, shedding light to all of the horrific tragedies that have occurred within the past few months and years, more and more citizens are leaning more towards stricter ...

Cuba has been a communist country since 1965 and we can observe the very controversial moments in Cuba’s development at the moment. On the one hand, this country offers free education and health care services and therefore there is high level of literacy, old life expectancy and overall human development. On the other hand, this country is in general poor and its macroeconomic indicators are very low. So it seems that the Cuban planned economy has failed and the local people have to look for the ways how to survive. In the article “To live Outside the Law ...

While this crime has happened decades ago, it still haunts the minds of investigators, experts, and historians. The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the mysteries that has remained unraveled until these days. Myriads of conspiracy theories linking together the CIA, FBI, KGB, Cuba, and Lyndon B. Johnson, were the result of, as experts admitted, an ambiguous and negligent official report. The assassination of JFK was particularly sudden and shocking for the American people, which required a close and meticulous examination. On November, 1963 President of the U.S. Lyndon B. Johnson has created a special commission for ...

Business Ethics: Making an Ethical Decision.

Introduction Business ethics examines proper business practices and policies concerning potentially contentious issues including accepting bribes, any form of discrimination, corporate social responsibility and governance and fiduciary accountabilities. However, the interest in business ethics became more implemented in the 1980s and 1990s in business entities and learning institutions. These ethical issues give a reflection on the relations maximizing profit behavior with non-economic concerns. Therefore, most companies currently commit to these non-economic values lead by social interest appeals and ethical codes. According to Friedman managers in business, entities focus majorly on making as many profits as possible while abiding by ...

Since the Great Depression, economists have been arguing about Keynesian and Monetarist Theories. They argue which theory was best suited based on its infrastructure for the situation. It causes them to argue today on which theory would be best for the nation’s economy. While the two theories overlap slightly, they are vastly different, with one focusing on the economic stimulation the central bank can provide, and the other focusing on the central bank’s monetary supply. While both have faced criticism, and both have been used to manipulate the country’s economy, it seems Keynesian Theory is best ...

Abstract

This paper will discuss the emergence of national security policies and laws in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Prior to these attacks, there was relatively little coordination between different government agencies and branches with regards to counterterrorism. But the 9/11 attacks led to significant changes. All three government branches are highly involved in national security measures and interests. Congress responded by passing very important statutes to augment the government’s authority to conduct and investigate terrorist threats and apprehend suspects. These statutes reflect the practical difficulties of apprehending and prosecuting terrorists. Terrorism is unique in that if ...

Six pillars of character

Maintenance of a commendable ethical character is essential to the work environment. In fact, Sanderse (2012) argues that lack thereof creates a non-conducive work and communication atmosphere. As a result, it is essential for people to value the essence of ethics and respect for other people. In the case provided, we are presented with two parties that are a complete opposite of each other’s character. As much as mutual understanding is enhanced through the efforts of more than one party, it is worth acknowledging that Jeffrey Lyndell lacks essential characters that define good personality (Mintz & Morris, 2014). Primarily, ...
