Background

Successful modern business marketing lays emphasis on meeting the needs of the customers. This focus is a departure in the opposite direction from the traditional business whose major concern was selling its products or services. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one way of meeting not only the direct customers’ desires but also the needs and expectations of all the stakeholders of a business (Ortenblad 2016). Unethical profiteering practices of large companies and customer awareness due to free flow of information have forced many companies to make CSR a key strategic focus in their conduct of business.

Business organizations are expected to exercise CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), which involves undertaking business activities and using business practices that have benefits to the society. The use of environmentally-friendly methods of production and other business activities is one of the practices that demonstrate that an organization is socially responsible. Being socially responsible implies that a firm does not engage in activities likely to cause harm to the society (Marcandella et al. 138). Therefore, by establishing a new manufacturing plant, the company should not just focus on profit maximization, but should also consider how much the society is likely to ...

Introduction

The term “Brexit” has been highly popularized across the world today, but it has its root in the result of the referendum on June 23, 2016, for UK's exit from the EU. Brexit is simply a short-form for “British exit” (Mirror, 2016). EU members perceive Brexit as calamitous and in fact one of the most unfortunate events that have occurred throughout the lifetime of the Union. Britain became a member of the EU (formally known as the European Economic Community, ECC) on January 1, 1973, 12 years from the time it applied to join the community, and resultantly, it ...

Mental wellbeing has in the recent past attracted a lot of attention from stakeholders in the health industry after they noted that holistic caring of a patient must involve ensuring mental wellness. In the past, this section of healthcare was overlooked, as mental diseases were not considered ‘illnesses’ but were rather thought to be associated with witchcraft. As a result, any person exhibiting signs of mental illness was shunned and secluded from the community and family members, until he/she passed on. Mental healthcare has as a result lagged behind in terms of providing quality care services to affected patients. ...

Introduction

People have always been fascinated about how language affects their thoughts or even the process of thinking. Considering this thought, is it then right to say that people from different language groups speak differently?

The argument that suggests that language affects people’s thoughts is based on the idea that language is what determines how moral or crooked one ...

The lyrics to the song ‘Hotel California’ were written by Don Felder, Don Henley and Glenn Frey in 1976 and released in 1977.

That is to say, the Manhattan project which culminated with the building of the first ever Atomic bomb was a very important milestone. It showed that civilians and the military could work together for a common goal. While ...

Ethics calls to treat a man as the aim and never treat man merely as a means. Ethics is a philosophy of morals, values, and ethos. The concept of morality is often limited to the level of elementary culture of communication, so the meaning and the ...

Financial recess is never a novel term. Depressions have always hit the financial system of the world, and the latest recess America is most likely not the final one. Nonetheless, many issues worked together to make the recent U.S crisis the worst financial recession since the global downturn. These factors include failures of market, weaknesses in the execution of policy, as well as macroeconomic problems. The primary concept, which had controlled economic thinking for many years, was that markets functioned. The appropriate prices often get a buyer as well as a seller.

Ningbo’s newly completed Central Business District (CBD) belies its status as one of China’s oldest cities. The austere downtown landscape is the equivalent of architecture’s white-washed wall: a place of erasure, forgetting, and dubious progress. With the completion of Wang Shu’s Ningbo Museum in 2008, however, the Ningbo of the present is confronted by the forgotten landscape of its not too distant past. A craggy mountain of a building inspired by the region’s natural topographical features as well its unique crafts and architectural traditions, the Ningbo Museum is not simply an obligatory nod to ...

The Apology chronicles a speech given by Socrates in response to charges brought against him in Athens Greece. Socrates was brought to trial around 399 BC for a myriad of charges. This hearing was recorded by his student Plato and is believed to be the most accurate, even though Xenophon's Memorabilia gives an account of the proceedings. The modern day connotation of the word apology, derived from the Greek word apologia is defined as “a regretful acknowledgement of an offence or failure” (Oxford Dictionaries). Where this definition is concerned, and with careful analysis, one cannot refer to this hearing ...

A work like Pearl S Buck’s The Good Earth is by its very nature orientalist in the Saidian sense Because it was created within the structures of Orientalism as both a genre and as an epistemological category. Buck was born the child of an American missionary in China and spent much of her formative years there. Buck’s early life and experiences as an American and the child of a missionary informed her preconceptions of China, its people, society, and culture. Orientalism in this sense isn’t just a literary genre: an orientalist work is not just, a ...

The first public relation strategy is universal consciousness, which entails the formation of groups within the society. For instance, a store that specializes in fashionable male clothes expresses their architecture through the authenticity of their goods (Edward and Miller 65). Besides, some bakeries employ the universal consciousness strategy to establish good public relations by wrapping their products in dust proof papers, making deliveries through clean and attractive wagons, and following all health standards. In most instances, businesses impinge on public consciousness by giving public relations a character that conforms to their objectives. Such an approach seeks to win the ...

Thus, in this paper, the correlation between the Sykes-Picot agreement, formation of the Palestinian identity, and creation of ...

In the English-speaking cinematography, 1995 was the year of Jane Austen. As if trying to celebrate the 220th anniversary of the writer, who since the 20th century became to some extent even a cult figure, the filmmakers created just three versions of her novels “Sense and Sensibility”, “Pride and Prejudice” and “Emma”. I like the Jane Austen’s creativity and read almost all her books. I saw a lot of different adaptations of the book “Pride and Prejudice”, and by and large I like all of them. After seeing the film adaptation of “Sense and Sensibility”, directed by Ang ...

Writings on Hinduism have been remarkably expanded in the past decade by anthropological research which focuses on the real nature of religious practices, including the underlying philosophy, and examines the setting or environment as well as the written literature. Edward Harper, in his article Ritual Pollution as an Integrator of Caste and Religion (1964), vividly showed that the hierarchical relationship of the concepts of 'purity' and 'pollution', which are the foundational elements of caste, is based on a paradigm of society wherein different groups are brought together by the common pursuit of religion or rituals for the gods. The ...

Significant Distinctions between Economic Growth and Economic Development

Economic growth measures the amount of money that is changing hands in the economy. It thus refers to the rise in the value of everything that is produced in the economy. Growth takes place when the worth and number of commercial transactions increase in the economy. Economic expansion does not factor in the magnitude of the informal financial system. The informal financial system which is also the black financial system is an economic action that is unrecorded. Economic growth gauges an increase in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It can therefore be expressed in terms of GDP and Gross ...

Introduction

In the modern age of technological progress, people begin to puzzle about their place in the environment and the relation of a contemporary human being to the nature. It seems like the link between a person and natural environment is lost, yet still despite the progress, humans try to connect to nature. There is a radical difference between the life in a modern city and in wilderness, which sometimes attracts adventurers and those who try to escape the civilization. There are radical examples, like Chris McCandless, who has chosen alienation from the society in order to live in wilderness ( ...

Apple declined the request to create a backdoor for the encryption since it would be a violation of privacy. However, the government would consistently insist that it would use the backdoor tool only ...

In the last century, the Right to Privacy in America and most countries globally has evolved significantly. According to Dorff, Supreme Court Judge Louis Brandeis and Samuel Warren wrote an article that gave a warning the country had no laws that took into consideration the privacy of the regular citizens who did not have much to hide and went on with their lives (para 3). A case in a New York Court in the year 1902 ruled that no law prevented any company from using pictures of individuals without permission or paying them. Giving evidence that the public was ...

Invented and patented by Thomas Edison in 1879, the incandescent bulb comprises of a wired filament placed inside a glass bulb (“The History”). When electricity is provided to the filament, it heats up thereby making the bulb glow and emit light (“Incandescent, LED”). The wired filament of the incandescent bulb was initially made using carbon obtained from a cotton thread that was uncoated. This filament gave the bulb a lifespan of just 14.5 hours. Later, the carbon filament was made using bamboo, which gave the bulb a longer lifespan of up to 1200 hours (“The History”). Much later, in ...

Before the commencement of the American Civil War of between 1861 and 1865, the United States beheld the secession of the Southern States and the ensuing rise of the Confederacy to fight the Northern States that remained under the Union. Apparently, political, social, and economic disparities in the slavery system warranted the rise of Pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces that eventually took up arms against each other. In The Political Divisions that Contributed to Civil War, Michael Holt insists that sectional divisions and tension over black slavery did not “produces war” in the United States (401). According to the author, ...

Abstract

The mainstream economic theory holds that globalization is beneficial for every country, both developing and developed. However, the mainstream view relies on the comparative advantage theory, which embraces many unrealistic assumptions such as free mobility of labor and sustainable trade. These assumptions lead to adverse effects to countries that adopt globalization without a strategic plan. Importantly the U.S. is experiencing loss of jobs, an imbalance in income distribution and unfair competition due to globalization. These impacts arise when companies shift their production process to cheap labor zones and due to increased demand for skilled labor. This paper has four ...

The immune system performs the function of protecting the body against disease causing agents. In its healthy condition, the body’s immune system has the ability to recognize any invading microbe.
