Protectionism or free trade restriction helps to counteract the rise in unemployment and social tension. Cyclical development of a market economy requires government measures to restrict access to the domestic market for foreign goods and services in the interest of a speedy overcoming of the temporary reduction in demand. However, no regulation of trade is not able to increase the scale of production so we cannot say that restricting trade with foreign countries is a good way to create more jobs in the US, “trade liberalization should reduce wage inequality” (Baker 430). The level of trade restrictions can be ...

Tax that should be paid of the employees is based on their income. In the United States, employees pay taxes through the progressive tax system. It means the higher the income, the higher the amount of tax that should be paid. Taxes are also commonly deducted from paycheck of the employees by the employers (Bernard, 2009). In some cases, employees view tax as a burden due to the high amounts of paper works. However, most of them do not consider lowering their tax burden. Annual tax bill could be legally reduced in several ways. In most cases, lowering the ...

The principles by James Madison in Federalist # 10 are better placed in accomplishing unity than those suggested by Cato. A large extended republic gives individuals the freedom of movement. As individuals move from one place to another, they interact with people who have different interests and cultures. It is only by such interaction that people understand the cultures and interests of other people and this enhances the establishment of unity. Having an extended republic may not look good in the short-term because of the evident divisions, but it is the answer to unity in the longer term. This is ...

Jim formulated a training program for the workers in the pharmaceutical company. Unfortunately, while developing the initiative, he did not take into consideration the interests, motives, and goals of the employees. Even though the training ...

Introduction

The Americans have been proud regarding the relationship of their military sector and the civilians throughout the history. One of the major reasons why United States takes pride to this relationship is the subordination of the military sector to the authority of the civilians. The military-civil relationship in the United States is based on the doctrine about the civilian control over the military. This doctrine states that the control over the strategic plans and decision-making processes which could generally affect the whole nation should be in the hands of the civilian leaders and not the military leaders. It has ...

A bicameral parliament is a system of the legislative branch of the government made up of two complimentary houses that work together to pass laws. This system of parliament ensures that both the citizens and the government are adequately represented in the house and that sufficient consultations are made before any bills are passed into laws. In the case of the United States, the Senate embodies the interests of the state whereas the House of Representatives exemplifies the views of the country population as a whole (Moran 1895). The modes of qualification into these houses vary from one nation ...

Background

However, the lack of fundamental professional behavior, ethics, and compliance raises the important question whether the current financial sector in Australia is destined for an endemic future.

The recent ANZ suspected interbank interest rate rigging, CBA’s CommInsure denial of compensation to legitimate claims from terminally ill patients, and the Macquarie Group ...

Corporate social responsibility is defined as a business approach in which the long term interests of all concerned stakeholders are taken into consideration instead of only focusing on the company’s profitability. Social responsibility therefore implies that organizations must act in the best interests of their stockholders as well as the society in which they operate.

The CSR Pyramid encapsulates the four levels of responsibilities that a business organization must ideally ...

Question 1

Journalism refers to the profession or career of creating, assessing, presenting, and gathering information and news to the public. However, this traditional definition of journalism is currently being transformed by social media. Previously, journalists could pick information regarding what they thought the public would be interested to hear or read. Social media, on the other hand, is providing a user-oriented or customized form of journalism where the public chooses what they can relate. With the changes, journalists have to ensure that they give citizens important and truthful information to sustain professionalism (Lipschultz, 55).

Soldiers differ from political officials as appropriate targets of terrorist attacks because soldiers are considered as combatants driven by the political motives of the officials in charge. Soldiers are considered to be guided by the interests of those in power and their threatening nature compels terrorists to act against them. Therefore, orchestrating attacks on military personnel is considered ethical. On the other hand, despite political officials being considered as the agents of regimes thought to be oppressive (Walzer 7), they are noncombatants hence attacking them is not justifiable. Also, the political code stipulated prevents political officials from being targets ...

According to Benedict Anderson (2007), a community is formed through people coming together and imagining that they are one group. Primarily, societies are created as a result of several factors, which he explains in the first four chapters of his book. Notably, the identification of communities started rising during the industrial revolution due to the increase in the use of local dialects in most functions as opposed to the more general ones, like Latin. The local dialects were used in publications and other print products (Anderson, 2007). The concept resonates well with the theory of imagined communities because when ...

In Tom Regan's article “The Case for Animal Rights,” he makes the case for the rights of animals on the basis of equal treatment of all living things that possess inherent value. He argues that morality should be centered on the equal treatment of all living entities, rather than the reduction of suffering and the amplification of pleasure. Consequently, Regan's involvement in the animal rights movement is based on three issues: the elimination of all commercial forms of animal testing, animal agriculture and animal hunting. Ultimately, Regan's argument stands as a sound defense for animal rights on the grounds ...

The “Parable of Sadhu” indicates that the shared values are shaped by common interests, whether these interests reflect the need to belong to a group, or the need to influence others to accept one’s differences. McCoy indirectly suggests that the decision made regarding the fate of the Sadhu had to do with his friend, Stephen’s lack of power to establish himself as an ethical leader and find a solution agreed by all expedition members. However, the discussion to whether the approach towards the Sadhu was correct is more complex and involves ethical and leadership considerations, as well ...

Introduction

Engineering profession in Canada is self-regulated while in the U.S. it is state-regulated. However, there has been a long-standing debate on whether self-regulation in the engineering profession in Canada has served the public interest in a similar way as the U.S. and other state-regulated regimes. Before engineering was made a self-regulated profession in Canada, there were other professions like medicine and law which were being self-regulated. However, these self-regulated fields had been marred with numerous scandals because they were putting their interests before those of the public. They would increase the cost of professional services and engage in professional ...

In one afternoon when I was sipping coffee in a certain restaurant looking out of the window, a boy seated on the ground on the other side of the road drew my attention. The boy seemed hungry and exhausted, just seated waiting for help. I stood up, got out of the restaurant and approached the boy. The temperatures were not very accommodative and the boy was shivering as the wind blew. The boy was in a tattered t-shirt, very hungry and in an awkward situation. I took him to the restaurant and bought him food and gave him my ...

Introduction

A comparison of engineering licensure and regulation in the United States and Canada reveal critical differences between the two countries. Nonetheless, the licensure and regulation between the two countries converge at the point where government intervention in the profession offer some level of autonomy for engineers in their duty to promote public welfare and consumer protection.

Besides, state regulation and licensure in the United States gives the state the watchdog powers to oversee the operations of individual engineers and corporate entities ...

Thomas Jefferson (1743- 1826) and Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) served as the US presidents from 1801 to 1809 and from 1829 to 1837 respectively. The two popular presidents made significant contributions to the development of democracy in the United States. Historians and policy makers have criticized the two for acting in ways that seemed to compromise the very democracy they professed to uphold. Andrew Jackson stands as the president who better upheld the ideals of democracy and interests of the common man as he expanded voting rights, regulated the US National Bank and resolved the nullification crisis among many other ...

Creating change in any organization might seem like an insurmountable task given that human beings are usually resistant to change. But is that really true? A lot of employees, as normal workers, in middle and upper management actually embrace change if only they can be convinced of its validity and the manner in which it affects their best interests in a positive manner. No one likes to change anything that seems to working perfectly, right? That's what the employees of the bottled mineral-water company Perrier have been struggling to cope with for a number of years after the organization ...

Identifying the Key elements of the Resistance to Change

The reasons for people resisting change differ depending on interests and anticipation for changes. Parochial self-interest indicates that workers are more concerned with the change implications for themselves (Housel & Marian, 2011).

The proposal by Nestle for 15 percent workforce cut was essential for organizations to realize the changes. The response by CGT shows complete resistance to change as the union safeguard the interest of employees. The firm positions by both management and union influences initiated ...
