In this paper, we will explore the psychological impacts of two human-made disasters. One that happened during the First World War, and the other one is a recent terrorist attack in Paris, in 2015. The Lusitania Disaster was an attack from the German army to a British ship liner coming from New York to Liverpool, UK.

However, it can be argued that we are on a war today, that begun by several attacks of radical Islamic groups against the West. ...

Abstract

The Madoff Securities scandal was one of the biggest Ponzi schemes to hit America. This essay would examine the Madoff scandal from an audit perspective since it was the complacency (or collusion) of the auditors that encouraged the perpetrator of this scam. While the scam that was pulled by Bernie Madoff, was both large and difficult to spot, its detection also helped expose a crucial flaw that existed in corporate America at the time. This was the lack of regulatory oversight in the Securities business. While one could lay the blame for this scandal on the Regulator, another important ...

I would comment that the video should be a source of learning and awareness to everyone who is aspiring to get into healthcare and is or is becoming a pharmacist. It will help them to assess any such person who might be a drug diverter, and they can capture them in the act and report them to the concerned authorities. It will be a step forward in preventing people from ruining their lives at the hands of drug addiction. One critical moment I have observed is when a woman once came to the pharmacy and asked for a couple ...

The comment I would leave on the video would be one regarding the action needed to be taken against the pharmacies which do not pay attention to the prescriptions and clinics which write these prescriptions for the people in the first place. This is importance because the video reveals how the pharmacists caught the people as their actions and prescriptions were suspicious, however, there is no concern revealed regarding taking any action against the mentioned clinics which have a doubtful operation running in the country. I had observed a critical moment when I happened to be in a pharmacy ...

Define and discuss time and space utility

Products must be transported from the place where they are produced to the place where customers demand it to be delivered. The value-add that the product gains due to its transport is called space utility.

When the organizations are able to deliver the goods at a time they are needed, then their time utility increases.

This paper will review the case by determining the regulatory oversight in place at the time of the scandal and reasons why this scheme was not discovered as well as delve into other aspects of the case.
