Essays on Manipulation

The Chinese have long been accused of manipulating their currency to further serve their economic gains. The rest of the world, perhaps understandably, reacts badly to currency manipulation, as it is seen as the equivalent of “cheating” in the game of international economics. China is often reviled by the rest of the world because, unlike many other countries that pay lip service to traditional economic and political conventions, China has a tendency to act without thought to conventions. Even American presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused China of “cheating” at international economics and declared that if he became president, he ...

Sometime back not so long ago, nothing much was known about genetic engineering or genetic manipulation except in the context of research laboratories. The opposite though can be said about evolution because it has been a subject that has received a huge coverage as people more especially scientists have wanted to prove the fact that evolution is real in an effort to curb other explanations that seek to bring forth the origin of life of different organisms (Reiss & Straughan1996). That said the two today have become a common currency from all circles including those who are in support of ...

Introduction

Manipulation of financial data has become one of the biggest problems, and that require measures in the world of corporate finance. Companies have been known to mislead or deceive users of published financial data especially investors as they prepare and disseminate materially misstated financial statements. This action involves intent and deception by a team of clever and knowledgeable perpetrators such as top executives and auditors through the use of well-planned schemes. This manipulation involves schemes such as misrepresentation of events, intentional omissions, wrongly execution of accounting standards and policies, and alteration of supporting documents. (Rezaee, 2003). Manipulation of financial ...

New images usually shape the culture of the society in both profound and deep ways. This implies that photojournalism normally has a long and even a cherished tradition of truthfulness. Faking the photographs either by stage direction or picture manipulations has also claimed a long tradition. The media has been criticized for broadcasting very many gruesome images, which have hardened towards the violent injustices. The term photoshopping is slowly becoming synonymous with the photo manipulation. However, this practice is aging out with the new establishment of computer software, which is as old as the photography itself. Some commentators argue ...

There are so many different settings and places throughout this novel that it is almost impossible to pinpoint just one. However, it is my opinion that the most important scene which portrays the theme of manipulation is the meeting of Valentine and Ender at Lake Brandt on earth. Manipulation is a very important theme within the text, Ender’s Game, since examples of manipulation are portrayed in at least two to three scenes of every chapter. Ender has just been transferred out of Battle School in record time, and is about to be ...

Introduction

Prisons comprise of all types of inmates, both social and anti-social inmates. The anti-social inmates develop behavior that lacks respect for other people and may have adverse effects on the society. Anti-social inmates often have an anti-social personality disorder that involves socially irresponsible, guiltless, and exploitative behavior. With this type of behavior, the anti-social inmates tend to manipulate the staff in prisons and their fellow inmates. They develop this behavior due to depression, substance abuse, domestic violence, or psychosocial impairment. The outcome of this behavior is often the anti-social inmates committing suicide or they constantly disturb in prisons. ...

Abstract

Elements of manipulation are strategic/sophisticated voting, and agenda setting. Strategic voting results into the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem (Gibbard) which is about a specific kind of decision mechanism for social choice functions--a function that specifies for each combination for possible preference orderings. The theorem states that “for any non- dictatorial and non-imposed social choice function, there is vulnerability to manipulation.” This means that expressing one’s true preferences is not a dominant strategy always; rather, there are preference profiles where at least one of the individuals has an incentive not to express his/her ‘true’ preferences. Also, ...

Accrual Base Accounting and cash based accounting are 2 methods employed by managers in financial reporting of the earnings of a company over a period. As per Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), a company has a choice in application of accounting methods which is often referred to as earning management.

Accrual based accounting is a form of measuring the income where the effect of transaction is recorded when the transaction occurs rather than being recorded when cash is received or paid, which is the cash based accounting method. This method enables the combining of the current cash inflows and ...

Position: CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS DO NOT RESULT IN STROKE WHEN IMPROPERLY APPLIED

Introduction: 1st argument
In the past years, case reports have been identified of patients with an experience of both chiropractic adjustments and stroke. This has led to a wide skepticism on the use of chiropractic adjustments in treating spinal problems such as neck and back pain [1].
While there is no doubt of the occurrence of each, stroke and chiropractic adjustments may just have a mere temporal relationship, wherein one does not necessarily and, most importantly, not always follow each other. The study by Smith and his colleagues in 2003 showed that “Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) is independently associated ...

Management Strategy: An Analysis of the LIBOR Crisis of 2012

One year has lapsed since the regulatory report that fined British Banking Association (BBA) for the alleged London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) scandal in 2012 (Szilárd and Zoltán 23). LIBOR entails a yardstick of interest rates administered by the BBA. LIBOR calculates the interest rates based on the borrowing periods. This serves as a benchmark to the average cost of banks in their unsecured borrowing for a certain period. In the past, the BBA has been performing its role of lobbying and overseeing LIBOR while unregulated. LIBOR has a vast number of transactions in use reaching an ...

Introduction
Management of incomes involves the understanding of the effect of the accounting decisions by the management so as to make a decision that is best for the company. Earnings indicate the extent of a firm’s engagement in value-added activities. Therefore an increased earning represents an increase in the value of the company (Ronen & Yaari, 2008).
Since accounting process deals with matters of judgment and of resolving conflicts between different competing approaches to the presentation of the results of events and transactions in a business, there is room for manipulation. Such practices by the accounting professionals are intended ...

Introduction

Accounting and Finance are two different fields, but most of the people associated both of them are identical. However, the concepts of both of these provisions are totally different from each other. Accounting is the name of recording the day to day transaction, while finance is the name of utilizing the funds of the company at a place from where the likelihood of earning would be on a higher node.
Both of the concepts of Accounting and finance are two important things from the standpoint of an organization and no organization could be in the line of economically based ...

Using Contemporary Policy Examples, Explain What the 'Three Faces of Power' Teach Us about Agenda Setting

Introduction
Public policies reflect, on the surface, governmental decision making processes. At a closer look, however, contemporary policies are the result of direct and indirect pressures upon the public or upon political decision-making factors. Steven Luke’s “three faces of power” model includes the decision-making power, the agenda setting and the preference shaping power, explaining three strategies of modeling public opinion by exerting specific aspects of power (Sundstram, 2011). Agenda setting, also named the non-decision-making power of the three faces of power model is a sinuous strategy that various groups can use for placing their problems or their issue ...

Question One: How the US should deal with China

In the course we had discussed a number of readings that suggest that the US should deal with the rise of China by employing balance-of-power tactics. Other readings argue that the US can manage its relations with China more optimally by making China an equal co-partner in international institutions. I agree with the first perspective which states that the US should deal with the rise of China by employing balance-of-power tactics. The optimal option which aims at making these two countries equal co-partners in international institutions would not work and if attempted would be likely to fail shortly after ...

In many instances, authors use powerful ideas that shift their readers in a way that intrigues their every day understanding of life. It is not debatable that Robert Browning and William Shakespeare were legendary writers of their time. It is also not ironic that although there are years separating the two writers, their work contains similar themes. As a common ground for my comparisons, this paper examines the common ideas and how the themes are brought out in William Shakespeare’s “Othelo”, and Robert Browning’s two poems “My Last Duchess” and “The Laboratory”. Using characters Iago in Othelo, ...

Leadership is the process of exercising power and influence in the social environment with the aim of achieving the objectives of a given organization. Each organization should have a leader to exercise control and organization in the performance of duties. Usually, a leader gives direction to the people under him. The leader should be in a position to gain the trust of his followers in order to have proper coordination (Kouzer & Posner 2006). A leader should also be supported by other people in order to carry out his duties effectively. He cannot work alone. This is the major reason ...

Inductive theory of research – involves a researcher starting from very specific data and then proceeding towards more general information about the research. For example, studying the culture of a person to understand the culture of the clan from which the person comes.
Deductive theory of research – works in reverse to the inductive theory. I.e. the research begins from a broad perspective and narrows down to individuals as it proceeds.
Epistemological considerations of research try to define the origin nature and scope of knowledge. It uses both positivist approach (scientific study of knowledge) and interpretive approach which deals with how ...

a)
Accounting practices have not been limited by time, laws, regulations and professional standards. On the contrary, the ethical framework has received little attention as the financial disclosures are reviewed by auditors who have a bias for operating events. Moreover, as shown by the survey, what is moral, ethical or fair is subjective and there are no existing precedents to borrow from thus the differences in managers’ views. Generally, the survey revealed that managers manipulate accounting disclosures to suit their personal interests but still fallen within the regulations and professional requirements showing the failure of such restrictions.

The SQL injection (SQLi) is one of the most common threats to contemporary computer security. It is also one of the most successful threats because it is easy to execute and moderately hard to detect and prevent, so the success rates are high and the damaged caused by the attack is severe. Furthermore, there are no tools that can accurately detect and stop specific SQLi attacks, so developers are required to analyze the source code and resort to code-based defense strategies if they want to prevent unauthorized access to data. In the worst case scenario, an attacker can take ...

The case study says that HOHO which is a charity organization is attempting to increase donations from various corporations. The donors are not always aware of the activities taking place in the charity nor are they aware of the ethical standards to be maintained. The CFO is being pressurized by the management to misallocate the costs. The expenditure to cost ratio of 25% would be disrupted by misallocation of costs. Any pressure by the management takes away the independence of a CFO. He should not be told what to do. In the given case of a charity organization, the ...

Abstract

Conventional medicine or mainstream medicine, which is often called as allopathic medicine, is based on the Cartesian model of dualism that holds the view that the human body and the mind are two entities. On the contrary, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) views the human body and the mind as a single entity. Many mainstream therapies were once considered complementary until they were proven clinically effective through research. Currently, many mainstream practitioners are adopting CAM therapies to provide integrated or holistic care. The National Institutes of Health and National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NIH/NCCAM) have divided CAM ...

The adoption of wireless networks can be endangered for many reasons. The authentication challenges are worst when the systems are prone to access by unauthorized users. The encryption protocol for protecting sensitive data from manipulation and exposure is critical. The rapidly changing trends in computing means that specialized applications are no longer being used for the original design purpose. Combining specializations requires the integration of diverse technologies that may not be compatible. Incompetent users of the wireless networks and mobile devices are also significant contributors to the security challenges. (Kumar, Manjunath & Kuri, 2008)
Key risks associated with using wireless ...

Introduction

Chiropractic and osteopathy are examples of complementary alternative medicine (CAM). Chiropractic medicine emphasizes on the innate recuperative power of the body without the use of drugs or surgery. It also emphasizes on the association between structure (the spine) and function (nervous system) and how this relationship affects health (Huijbregts, 2007). Osteopathy, on the other hand, is a distinct form of medicine which provides all the components of modern medicine such as prescription drugs, surgery, and use of technology in the diagnosis and evaluation of diseases and injuries. It also provides hands-on diagnosis and treatment via a therapeutic system called ...

Introduction
Even if the chiropractor improperly manipulates the body during treatment, it is highly unlikely that the patient would suffer stroke as a result. Instead, after considerable research that involves case-control studies and biomechanical studies, it has been concluded that patients who suffer from stroke after a visit to a chiropractor already had the arterial damage that led to the stroke. The connection between the chiropractor and the incidence of stroke had to do with the fact that the patients were seeking a remedy for their pain (Murphy, 2010). The chiropractor applied a treatment, but even with the manipulation ...

Massage Therapy as a Rising Form of Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Society’s increase in awareness of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) techniques can be very visible nowadays. This reflects the growing awareness of people regarding practices related to CAM and also an increased emphasis on promoting health and wellness instead of medically fixing the body when it is already burdened by disease and other ailments. Complementary and alternative medicine is a broad term that encompasses all non-Western medical practices that aim to promote health such as massage, yoga, acupuncture, aromatherapy and other related practices. One of the most popular CAM techniques is massage.

The Morality and Legality of Insider Trading

Undeniably, the rate of unethical behaviors in international corporate organizations seems to have risen to an uncontrollable rate. For instance, insider trading that does not involve the abuse of dominant positions or manipulation of financial marks is often termed illegal but hardly immoral. Among the major proponents of insider trading are that it promotes the spirit of enterprise and economic efficiency but at the same time, it leads to unequally access to information and breach of fiduciary duty (Juan, 2011). It is highly believed that insiders are capable of undertaking strategic trading activities to prevent them from revealing their ...

The IFRS are accounting standards, rules and principles that were introduced by an independent organization in the United Kingdom, known as the International Accountants Standards Board. The institution puts forward that the standards would better serve public companies worldwide than the local standards in the country due to the aspect of comparability, transparency and economic growth. There are several countries that have adopted the IFRS over the recent years. The transition to IFRS for the companies in these countries has considerable costs. There are technical and training costs that are incurred that may cause several companies to be cautious ...

The shortcoming of financial ratios is that it does not take into consideration quality and other psychological factors like mental stress, hard work, health or the quality of work done by its employees. The ratios also tend to be judged solely on monetary factors and these considerations are totally ignored. Most readers of financial ratios look at the company based on the ratios reflected in the financial statements. This is not always true because a company considers various factors before making a decision and each decision is reflected in the financial ratio.
Net profit and retained earnings are the ...

There is a time when advertisers need more than descriptive research to understand consumers current behaviors and attitudes. They sometimes require an understanding of cause and effect, which is obtained through experimental research in which an advertiser alters something in the consumer’s environment, or product in order to see what would happen. The goal of an experiment is usually to determine the effect of changes in one area on one or more other areas. An experiment is used to vary the amount of advertising placed in particular markets to determine how advertising weight affects target audience, advertising awareness ...

Reflection 1: Reflect on the relevance for management practice of Lukes’ three dimensional model of power. Illustrate your points with suitable examples.
According to Lukes, there are three fundamental faces of power. Each face of power offer something different to the individual who is trying to attain that power, and people in different positions use the different faces of power differently to ensure that they retain control within their own personal sphere. The first face of power is what happens when someone wins an argument. For instance, if a parent wins an argument against their child, they have the ...

Vygotsky and Luria: Soviet Psychologists

Lev Vygotsky and Alexander Luria were two Soviet psychologists that were rejected their own country, and it was only in the 1970s when it began to be taken into account in the United States of America, mostly due to Cold War prejudices. Thus, their theory has not been so profoundly studied. Also, many researchers have questioned the authoritative nature of the available translations, which could be obscuring the comprehension of what these researchers were truly proposing, which is usually called cultural-historical psychology. This label, however, “does not reflect the genuine self-concept of the respective researchers. Rather, both designations originally ...

- Food miles and 100-mile diet
A 100-mile diet refers to a diet that consists of foods raised and grown within 100 miles of a dinner table (Tancock). Usually, food travels some 1,500 miles before reaching the dinner table in North America (Tancock). The traveling miles are called “food miles” and affect the environment, quality of food and farming practices. Food miles increase carbon emissions through the numerous planes, boats, and trucks involved in the transport of food materials. In addition, food miles promote unsafe agricultural practices because the consumers are unlikely to visit the farms ...

Introduction:

The morality of genetic research can play out in many ways. Two broad fields of concern are that of genetically engineered organisms and the ethics involved in the use of human stem cells taken from zygotes and human embryos. Another issue is the patenting of the genome and how that affects medicines and the rights of people to “own” their own cells. Of special concern is that bio-engineering might escape and have long term adverse effects as the manipulated creations cross genetic structures with other biological elements in the environment. This paper will look at the general ethical concerns ...

Evolutionary Psychology

Evolutionary psychology (or EP) examines psychological traits like memory, language, and perception, from an evolutionary perspective, which is modern. This theory seeks to identify the human psychological traits that are evolved adaptations. These are the traits, which are the functional products of sexual selection or natural selection. According to the adaptationists, physiological mechanisms are related to psychological processes. They consider the physiological mechanisms of the heart, immune system, and lungs.
Some of the evolutionary psychologists apply this thinking to psychology, and argue that the human mind has a similar modular structure to the human body, where different modular adaptations ...
